Sanskrit
दम्भो दर्पोऽभिमानश्च क्रोधः पारुष्यमेव च । अज्ञानं चाभिजातस्य पार्थ सम्पदमासुरीम् ॥
dambho darpo 'bhimānaś ca krodhaḥ pāruṣyam eva ca ajñānaṃ cābhijātasya pārtha sampadam āsurīm
Translation
Hypocrisy, arrogance and conceit, wrath and also harshness and unwisdom are his who is born, O Pârtha, with demoniacal properties.
Annie Besant · The Bhagavad-Gita, translated by Annie Besant (4th ed., 1922) — Wikisource · Public Domain
Explanation
After three verses and roughly two dozen distinct divine qualities, the demonic list arrives in a single verse with only six items: hypocrisy, arrogance, conceit, wrath, harshness, and ajñāna (unwisdom, the opposite of the jñāna this chapter opened with). The asymmetry is rhetorically pointed — virtue gets elaborated in fine-grained detail, vice is treated as one undifferentiated bundle of inflated ego and ignorance, as if there’s less to say about it because it’s fundamentally simpler, a deficiency rather than a rich alternative structure. Krishna addresses Arjuna here as Pārtha (son of Pṛthā), a patronymic the text reaches for when it wants to remind him of his lineage and therefore his stakes in the choice being described.
