एतां दृष्टिमवष्टभ्य नष्टात्मानोऽल्पबुद्धयः ।
प्रभवन्त्युग्रकर्माणः क्षयाय जगतोऽहिताः ॥
ఏతాం దృష్టిమవష్టభ్య నష్టాత్మానోఽల్పబుద్ధయః ।
ప్రభవన్త్యుగ్రకర్మాణః క్షయాయ జగతోఽహితాః ॥
etāṃ dṛṣṭimavaṣṭabhya naṣṭātmāno’lpabuddhayaḥ |
prabhavantyugrakarmāṇaḥ kṣayāya jagato’hitāḥ ||
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.
