।।16.11।। मरणपर्यन्त रहने वाली अपरिमित चिन्ताओं से ग्रस्त और विषयोपभोग को ही परम लक्ष्य मानने वाले ये आसुरी लोग इस निश्चित मत के होते हैं कि "इतना ही (सत्य, आनन्द) है"।।
16.11 चिन्ताम् cares? अपरिमेयाम् immeasurable? च and? प्रलयान्तम् ending only with death? उपाश्रिताः refuged in? कामोपभोगपरमाः regarding gratification of lust as their highest aim? एतावत् that is all? इति thus? निश्चिताः feeling sure.Commentary They are beset with immense cares? worries and anxieties and their minds are engrossed in aciring and preserving the countless sensual objects. They have got the strong conviction that the sensual enjoyment is the highest end of a man. They are steeped in
Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.
।।16.11।।तथा --, जिसकी इयत्ता न जानी जा सके? ऐसी अपरिमेय -- अपार? प्रलयतक -- मरणपर्यन्त रहनेवाली चिन्ताके आश्रित हुए? अर्थात् सदा चिन्ताग्रस्त हुए? तथा कामोपभोगके परायण -- जिनकी कामना की जाय वे शब्दादि विषय काम हैं? उनके उपभोगमें तत्पर हुए -- तथा विषयोंका उपभोग करना? बस यही परम पुरुषार्थ है? ऐसा निश्चय रखनेवाले।
