The Demoniacal Ways - 7-18
1 Gita Sloka  Every Day - Chapter 16 - Daivasura Sampad Vibhaga Yoga - Sloka 9


Etam drishtim avastabhya nashat atmanah alpa buddhyah I
Prabhavanti ugra karmanah kshayaya jagatah ahitah II sloka 9
एतां दृष्टिं अवस्तभ्य नश्त आत्मानः अल्प बुद्धयः I 
प्रभवन्ति उग्र कर्माणः क्षयाय जगतः अहिताः II श्लोक 9 

Holding this view, these ruined souls of small intellect, of fierce deeds, rise as the enemies of the world for its destruction.

Man's intellect dwindles away as he becomes slave to the senses. Inordinate sense-indulgence ends in self - annihilation. Adharma or wickedness is the outcome of it. This vicious act contaminates the world and causes great harm. Still, they have a negative purpose to serve. That falsehood and wickedness are not the paths to self emancipation, is made evident by the base life of the demoniac.

The evil ways of the diabolical are further illustrated.
