Sanskrit Text

द्वौ भूतसर्गौ लोकेऽस्मिन्दैव आसुर एव दैवो विस्तरशः प्रोक्त आसुरं पार्थ मे शृणु

English Translation

There are two kinds of created beings in this world, namely God-like and demoniac. The God-like has been fully described by me. Now hear from me, Partha, something of the demoniac. Persons of demoniac nature know now what is action and what is inaction. Neither purity, nor good conduct, nor truth exists in them.
