Krishna dives deeper into the psychology of the Asura. Their primary shelter is 'kāmam duṣpūraṁ' (insatiable, unfillable lust). Because this lust can never be satisfied, they become heavily absorbed in 'dambha-māna-madānvitāḥ' (hypocrisy, false prestige, and intoxication/madness). Operating under deep illusion (mohād), they accept totally false, impermanent things as real (asad-grāhān) and commit themselves to 'aśuci-vratāḥ' (unclean, impure vows and habits).
