Uitleg

Krishna explains that the beings of this world are of two kinds, divine and demonic. Since he has already spoken at length about the divine qualities, both just now and earlier in the dialogue, he will now describe the demonic in detail. The verse introduces a long portrait that follows. Its purpose is not to frighten but to help Arjuna recognise these tendencies, in others and possibly in himself, so that he can turn away from them.
