Kumara Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Now Lord Krishna discloses the six properties predominating the demoniac nature. dambah is ostentation or a charade of pretentious actions perverting religion. darpa is pride or the unnatural proclivity for excess experiencing sense objects. abhimanah is arrogance or egotism concerning ones self interest and importance krodah is anger which arises when greed and lust is impeded and frustrated. parusyam is belligerence or spurious indignation towards what is righteous. ajananam is ignorance and lack of discrimination of the eternal and the temporal. Those born in the demoniac nature act contrary to all that is righteous and fiendishly oppose the ordinances and injunctions of the Vedic scriptures beneficial for all creation.
