Adhyāya 16 • Shloka 4

दम्भो दर्पोऽभिमानश्च क्रोधः पारुष्यमेव च | अज्ञानं चाभिजातस्य पार्थ सम्पदमासुरीम् || ४ ||

dambho darpo 'bhimānaś ca krodhaḥ pāruṣyam eva ca | ajñānaṁ cābhijātasya pārtha sampadam āsurīm || 4 ||

"Pride, arrogance, conceit, anger, harshness and ignorance—these qualities belong to those of demoniac nature, O son of Pṛthā."

Historical Context

The Direct Meaning

In stark contrast to the 26 divine qualities, Krishna delivers a concise, brutal summary of the 'āsurī sampadam' (the demoniac wealth/nature). He lists six core traits: dambho (hypocrisy/pride), darpo (arrogance), abhimānaś (conceit/false prestige), krodhaḥ (anger), pāruṣyam (harshness/cruelty), and ajñānaṁ (ignorance/delusion).
