Asurim yonim apanna mudha janmani janmani, mam aprapyaiva kaunteya tato yanty adhamam gatim

Taking birth again and again in demoniac species of life, such foolish souls can never approach Me, O son of Kunti, and they gradually sink to the most abominable type of existence. The demoniac trajectory is one of cumulative descent — each birth further from God and deeper into degradation — until the most abominable state is reached.

  • Repeated demoniac births progressively distance the soul from God
  • Without approaching the Supreme, the demoniac slide into ever more degraded forms
  • The path of the demoniac leads ultimately to the most abominable conditions of existence
