Translated Text:
Because you have, with your actions,
made the mortals do the worst,
only to be called as daeva-devotees,
who give up good mind,
and run away from the Wise Lord's intelligence
and from righteousness.
Commentary:
Deceptive priests make people do for them even the worst acts only to make them feel that they are devotees of the so-called gods. These people are thus kept away from using their God-given intelligence and do not act righteously.
Pondering Point:
“Deceitful rulers structure society in a way that incentivizes oppresion and exploitation for their own benefit.”
