Verse 64.218
असद्दधानो वचनं दुर्बुद्धिः ईर्ष्यां च क्रोधं जने कृष्णबन्धु ।
सो दुष्टचित्तो अबुधो च जातो भूयस्य मात्रं जने अप्रसादं ॥ २१८ ॥
asaddadhāno vacanaṃ durbuddhiḥ īrṣyāṃ ca krodhaṃ jane kṛṣṇabandhu |
so duṣṭacitto abudho ca jāto bhūyasya mātraṃ jane aprasādaṃ || 218 ||
But the perverse Son of Darkness heeded not their words, and continued to nourish his jealousy and wrath. Being evil-minded and infatuated he bred his mistrust still more. (218)
