Shankaracharya's commentary, trans. Alladi Mahadeva Sastry (1897)
[1]Neither action nor inaction do the demoniac men know; neither purity nor good conduct nor truth is found in them.
BG 16.7
प्रवृत्तिं च निवृत्तिं च जना न विदुर् आसुराः । न शौचं नापि चाचारो न सत्यं तेषु विद्यते ॥
pravṛttiṃ ca nivṛttiṃ ca janā na vidur āsurāḥ | na śaucaṃ nāpi cācāro na satyaṃ teṣu vidyate ||
"The āsurī know neither pravṛtti nor nivṛtti; purity, good conduct, and truth are all absent in them."
