The foolish evildoers, who are the most depraved among men, who are deprived of (their) wisdom by Maya, and who resort to demoniacal ways, do not take refuge in Me.
Swami Gambhirananda

दुष्कृत्य करने वाले, मूढ, नराधम पुरुष मुझे नहीं भजते हैं; माया के द्वारा जिनका ज्ञान हर लिया गया है, वे आसुरी भाव को धारण किये रहते हैं।
