Comment:-
Asatyam:- Persons possessing demoniac nature and atheistic outlook, say that this universe, is without truth and reality. According to them, virtuous actions, such as sacrifice, charity, penance, meditation, study of scriptures, pilgrimage and fasts etc., are unreal and deceptive.
Apratistham to jagadahuranisvaram:- The believers, believe in Dharma (righteousness), God and rebirth etc., while atheists do not believe in these. They say, that there is neither virtue nor vice, in this universe. They hold that the universe is without God. They do not believe, in His existence. So, for them there is no question of a creator and controller of the universe.[1]
Aparasparasambhutam kimanyatkamahaitukam:- They believe, that sexual passion of men and women, is the sole cause, of the entire universe. There is no need of any Lord, or actions of the past etc., in its creation i.e., there is no Lord, Who dispenses the fruit of actions of an individual, according to virtue and vice. According to them, those who regard the Lord, as creator of this universe, are hypocrites and they cheat, the universe.
