Sri Dasbodh (2.3) कुविद्या लक्षणें

Sri Dasbodh (2.3) कुविद्या लक्षणे
(Despicable Traits)

Sri Samartha chronicles the mean and ugly characteristics of human behaviour (naturally worth abandoning) during this discourse. It seems he made copious use of sixteenth chapter of the Bhagwat Geeta, which describes Divine as well as Demonic traits.  While Divine attributes lead man towards Self-Realisation the very fulfilment of human birth, the Demonic ones push him down to his total ruin as well as the society at large. Therefore it becomes essential to avoid the demonic traits outright. Those just do not beseem a civilised person.
An individual possessing despicable traits harbours umpteen number of bad qualities ; moreover,  he does not like to be clearly advised about those.

Sri Samartha mentions fourth stanza of the sixteenth chapter in the Bhagwat Geeta, which means hypocrisy (दंभ), arrogance (दर्प), ego (अभिमान), anger (क्रोध), harshness (कठोरपण) and ignorance (अज्ञान) in spite of birth in a cultured family are the traits of demonic wealth (!).
He further elucidates those as Passion, Rage, Arrogance, Envy, Greed, Hypocrisy, Hatred, Pride, Ego, Despondency, Wrong notions, Expectation, Attachment, Lust, Anxiety, Discontentment, Covetousness, Hooliganism, Intoxication, Defiance, Calamitous, Competition, Bother, Eccentrics, Babble etc.
Indeed, ‘Kuvidya’ manifesting thus is a grave disease !
Such a person is ugly, bad tempered being frail and weak and extremely miser being poor.
He is lazy and glutton, quarrelsome and cunning.
He is an idiot, trouble monger, madcap, loquacious and talkative.
He neither understands a thing nor prepared to learn ; moreover, he neither acts or observe procedure of the action.
He cannot be believed being ignorant, faulty due to habit of finding bizarre solutions and hates devotees being non-believer. He is slanderer being wicked, hurts others being miserable and very cruel being tortured himself. He is hypocritical being mean ; perpetrates evil actions being sick and being miser gets engrossed in immoral pursuits.
In spite of being lowly he is egoistic, hair-splitter vagabond , indulging in meaningless blabber and the unfortunate one expounding wisdom to people.  He is rude in spite of being timid, parades elegance in spite of being useless and boasts gallantry irrespective  of cowardice.
He is mean and egoistic, passionate and addictive and envious as well as corrupt.
He is unrestrained, evil and hypocrite. More, he is extravagant too. He is wicked and sensual, phoney and ungrateful . He is quarrelsome  in spite of being slow-witted, slanderer in spite of being like pauper and hurts people through his utterances. His speech is pungent, hurting, envious, suspicious, harsh and cruel. He is malicious, secretive, shirker, loquacious and mischievous rogue !
He is indolent, grumpy, thoughtless, sinner, convulsive and possessed by spirits and ghosts. He is destroyer of himself, women, cattle, Brahmins, mother, father and absolutely corrupt sinner.
He is ungrateful , treacherous , adulterous and fit for hell alone.
He is suspicious, quarrelsome, unrighteous, law-breaker, ever melancholic, back-biter, addictive, discriminative and stubborn.
He is mischievous , unsuccessful, filthy, instigator, miser, importunate (लोचट) , selfish, greedy, vagabond, insubordinate (शिरजोर) and intolerant.
He is cunning, stolid (मठ्ठ), timid, careless, meddler (लुडबुड्या), impostor (लफंगा), intoxicated, hypocrite, thief and manipulator !
He is corrupted possessing wicked mindset. He is killer, robber, dacoit,  adventurous, frivolous (चटोर), vulgar, fussy, fabricator, arrogant, sensual and perverted.
He is shameless, mischief-maker, idle, fat,  boorish (धटिंगण), uneducated,  naughty, histrionic (नाटकी) and quarrelsome.
He is impatient, accuser, immoral, blind, crippled, sick and deaf .
He is without learning, wealth, ancestry, riches, power, strength, good fortune , a pauper indeed !
He has no skills or talents, he is without proper advice, good attributes, beauty and grandeur. He sans limbs, is ugly.
 He sans resourcefulness, intellect, good conduct, thoughtfulness,  noble deed, benevolence, discretion.
He is devoid of devotion, emotion , knowledge, detachment, peace, forgiveness; in fact everything, he is indeed insignificant.
He does not value time, occasion, effort, practice and cordiality with masses. He does not know how friendship is fostered ; in short, he is the unfortunate one that understands nothing.
Thus, he nurtures umpteen faults with him. He is verily storehouse of entire despicable traits. The audience should discover such a person harbouring bad attributes in this manner. They should listen to those attributes and avoid all those. It is improper not to jettison those through sheer ego and insistence.
