Chapter 16: Divine & Demonic Naturesदैवासुरसम्पद्विभागयोग
16:8
“They say the world is unreal, without foundation, without a God, produced by mutual union, with desire as its cause—what else?”
Sanskrit
असत्यमप्रतिष्ठं ते जगदाहुरनीश्वरम् | अपरस्परसम्भूतं किमन्यत्कामहैतुकम् ||
Transliteration
asatyam apratiṣṭhaṁ te jagad āhur anīśvaram aparaspara-sambhūtaṁ kim anyat kāma-haitukam
Commentary
The demonic worldview: the universe has no truth, no moral foundation, no divine governance. It arose by chance from material combinations, driven only by desire. A bleak philosophy.
