Giảng giải
The description of the demonic nature begins with a failure of discernment. Such people do not understand pravṛtti and nivṛtti, the right occasions for engaging in action and for withdrawing from it. Without that sense, they lack purity, good conduct and truthfulness. The verse suggests that moral decline begins with confusion about what is to be done and what is to be avoided. Arjuna himself began in such confusion, but his confusion arose from conscience, not from indifference.
