Sanskrit
काममाश्रित्य दुष्पूरं दम्भमानमदान्विताः । मोहाद्गृहीत्वाऽसद्ग्राहान्प्रवर्तन्तेऽशुचिव्रताः ॥
kāmam āśritya duṣpūraṃ dambhamānamadānvitāḥ mohād gṛhītvā'sadgrāhān pravartante 'śucivratāḥ
Translation
Surrendering themselves to insatiable desires, possessed with vanity, conceit and arrogance, holding evil ideas through delusion, they engage in action with impure resolves.
Annie Besant · The Bhagavad-Gita, translated by Annie Besant (4th ed., 1922) — Wikisource · Public Domain
Explanation
Desire here is explicitly called “duṣpūra” — insatiable, impossible to fill — which is doing real philosophical work: the problem isn’t wanting things but wanting in a structurally bottomless way. Hypocrisy, pride, and intoxication with status feed a delusion (moha) that leads them to grasp at “asad-grāhān,” false or corrupt notions, and to act under “aśuci-vratāḥ” — impure vows. That last phrase is close to a contradiction in terms, since vrata ordinarily names a sacred, disciplined commitment; applying it to impurity suggests these people bring the same intensity of resolve to their vices that a practitioner would bring to austerity.
