* According to Gita, p. 108, doing nothing—stolid laziness—is a mark of darkness. Cf. generally on this passage Gita, pp. 107, 118, 124 seq.; Maitri, p. 40.

* The same word as at Gita, pp. 116, 125 (headstrong in the latter passage should have been haughty). Cf. as to the word, Khandogya, p. 383. BC Gla pine

* The opposite of the belief mentioned at Gita, p. 126.

5 The same word as at Gita, p. 109. But the commentators render it here by himsra, i. e. destructive. I am not sure about the original word here, and the word next but one after this. The latter Arguna Misra renders by sûkshmatattvavedanam, which I have translated above in the text. The former seems to mean general unintelligence. T Heaviness and dulness, induced by indolence, &c., Nîlakaṇṭha. Lassitude is drooping from despondency. Going into inferior ways, Arguna Misra says, means falling into the inferior castes; Nîlakaṇṭha says it means love for base actions.

5 The word here is the same as at Gita, p. 109, but the commentators render it in this passage as himsra, meaning destructive. I am not certain about the original word here or the word two places after it. The latter Arjuna Misra renders as sûkshmatattvavedanam, which I have translated in the text above. The former appears to mean a general lack of intelligence. † Heaviness and dulness are brought on by indolence and the like, according to Nîlakaṇṭha. Lassitude is drooping that comes from despondency. As for going into inferior ways, Arjuna Misra takes this to mean falling into the inferior castes, while Nîlakaṇṭha takes it to mean a love for base actions.

* Not being aware of his own shortcomings, Arjuna Misra,
