偈颂 7.157.17.27.37.47.57.67.77.87.97.107.117.127.137.147.157.167.177.187.197.207.217.227.237.247.257.267.277.287.297.30

The evil-doers and the deluded who are the lowest of men do not seek Me; they whose knowledge is destroyed by illusion follow the ways of demons.

Evildoers, the deluded and the lowest of men do not take refuge in me; their knowledge is stolen by illusion, and they cling to a demonic state of being.

In contrast, Krishna names those who do not take refuge in him: wrongdoers, the deluded and the lowest of people. Their knowledge has been taken away by illusion, and they cling to an āsura, demonic, way of being. The word āsura here describes a disposition of arrogance, cruelty and self-will rather than a kind of creature. The verse shows that turning away from the divine is not simple ignorance; it is often bound up with harmful conduct and a hardened attitude.
