आत्मसम्भाविताः स्तब्धा धनमानमदान्विताः ।
यजन्ते नामयज्ञैस्ते दम्भेनाविधिपूर्वकम् ॥
ఆత్మసమ్భావితాః స్తబ్ధా ధనమానమదాన్వితాః ।
యజన్తే నామయజ్ఞైస్తే దమ్భేనావిధిపూర్వకమ్ ॥

About chapter 16
Krishna lists the divine qualities that lead to freedom — fearlessness, purity of heart, charity, self-control, truthfulness, compassion and humility — and the demonic qualities that lead to bondage: hypocrisy, arrogance, anger and harshness. Desire, anger and greed are the three gates to hell. He advises living by the guidance of the scriptures.
