In English
The godless do not know how to act or renounce; they lack both purity and truth. They do not understand the right principles of conduct.
Translated by Shri Purohit Swami
The demoniacal do not know what to do and what to refrain from; they have neither purity, nor right conduct, nor truth.
Translated by Swami Sivananda
