Due to the influence of the mode of passion, the materialistic followers of the Vedas become subject to violent desires and are excessively lusty. Their anger is like that of a snake. Deceitful, overly proud, and sinful in their behavior, they mock the devotees who are dear to Lord Acyuta.
Srimad Bhagavata Purana
श्रीमद्भागवतमहापुराणम्
मूल श्लोकः
रजसा घोरसङ्कल्पाः कामुका अहिमन्यवः । दाम्भिका मानिनः पापा विहसन्त्यच्युतप्रियान्
rajasā ghorasaṅkalpāḥ kāmukā ahimanyavaḥ | dāmbhikā māninaḥ pāpā vihasantyacyutapriyān
