<< Chapter 16 Verse 8 >>
< >

असत्यमप्रतिष्ठं ते जगदाहुरनीश्वरम् ।
अपरस्परसम्भूतं किमन्यत्कामहैतुकम् ॥ १६.८ ॥

asatyam-apratiṣṭhaṁ te jagad-āhur-anīśvaram |
aparaspara-sambhūtaṁ kim-anyat-kāma-haitukam || 16.8 ||

   

People of demonic nature believe that the world does not have any eternal foundation (apratiṣṭham). They declare that there is nothing like Truth, and to think of anything like a supreme God Almighty is absurd. Everything is born out of male-female union (aparasparasambhūtam 16.8), and therefore passion alone is what matters in life, they claim.
