Meaning
Clinging to desires that can never be satisfied, full of hypocrisy, pride and arrogance, they grab hold of false ideas out of confusion and go about their work with impure intentions.
हिंदी में अर्थ
कभी न भरने वाली इच्छाओं का सहारा लेकर, दिखावे, घमंड और अहंकार में डूबे हुए, ये लोग भ्रम के कारण गलत धारणाएँ पकड़ लेते हैं और अशुद्ध इरादों से काम करते हैं।
