Link:- The Lord, in the next verse, describes the evil fate after death, of such people, who possess a demoniac nature.
anekacittavibhranta mohajalasamavrtah
prasaktah kamabhogesu patanti narake'sucau
Bewildered by many a fancy, entangled in the snare of delusion, addicted to the gratification of desire, they fall into a deep and filthy hell. 16
Comment:-
Anekacittavibhranta:- People of wicked nature, are fickle minded. They have innumerable desires, and in order to fulfil them, they make many endeavours and having many a fancy. They do not stick to one idea, and their mind remains confused.
Mohajalasamavrtah:- They remain entangled, in the snare of delusion, as described in the verses thirteenth to fifteenth i.e., they are enmeshed in vain imagination and given to lust, anger and pride, and never get rid of these. They are trapped like an ensnared fish. Entangled in the snare of delusion, they are bewildered, by many a fancy or a thought. They are afraid of harmful consequences, as a result of their various evil thoughts. These thoughts are attended by such fear, as, "We have black money. If somehow, officials come to know of it, or clerks etc., may complain against us, then what will happen? We will harm others, but it may cause harm to us also" - thus engrossed in such thoughts they cannot make any firm resolve. They have to suffer a lot of pain, when their desires, remain unfulfilled.
