Translation

Know thou these to be of demonical resolves, senselessly torturing all the elements in the body and Me who dwell in the body.

Hindi translation

जो मनुष्य शास्त्रविधिसे रहित घोर तप करते हैं; जो दम्भ और अहङ्कारसे अच्छी तरह युक्त हैं; जो भोग-पदार्थ, आसक्ति और हठसे युक्त हैं; जो शरीरमें स्थित पाँच भूतोंको अर्थात् पाञ्चभौतिक शरीरको तथा अन्तःकरणमें स्थित मुझ परमात्माको भी कृश करनेवाले हैं उन अज्ञानियोंको तू आसुर निश्चयवाले (आसुरी सम्पदावाले) समझ।

Meaning

Bhutagramam The aggregate of all the elements composing the body.Elements Organs.Mam Me Vaasudeva, the witness of their thoughts and deeds.He who thus tortures Me disregards My teachings entirely.Achetasah Senseless, unintelligent, having no discrimination.
