Śaṅkarācārya's commentary

Egotism: they esteem themselves very high for qualities which they really possess and for those which they falsely attribute to themselves. This egotism is what is called avidyā; and it is the hardest thing to overcome, the source of all perversities (doṣas), of all evil acts. Power: accompanied with lust and passion, and seeking to humiliate others. Haughtiness: when this arises one transgresses the path of virtue; it is a peculiar vice seated in the antaḥ-karaṇa. Lust: sexual passion, and the like. Anger: at something unpleasant. They hate Me, the Īśvara, abiding in their own and others' bodies as the Witness of their thoughts and actions. To hate Me is to transgress My commands. They are malicious, jealous of the virtue of those who tread the right path.
