Prabhupāda:

<div class="quote_verse">
:asatyam apratiṣṭhaṁ te
:jagad āhur anīśvaram
:aparaspara-sambhūtaṁ
:kim anyat kāma-haitukam 
:([[Vanisource:BG 16.8 (1972)|BG 16.8]])
</div>

This is the verdict of the asuras. We have discussed the characteristics of asuras for the last two days. Now, gradually, Kṛṣṇa is explaining the demonic characteristic. He has explained the divine characteristic extensively before this. Now He is explaining what are the demonic characteristic. So, nāpi cācāraḥ. They even do not know how to live nicely. That verse we have already discussed last night:

<div class="quote_verse">
:pravṛttiṁ ca nivṛttiṁ ca
:janā na vidur āsurāḥ
:na śaucaṁ nāpi cācāro
:na satyaṁ teṣu vidyate 
:([[Vanisource:BG 16.7 (1972)|BG 16.7]])
</div>

Pravṛtti and nivṛtti means which one, which path, we shall take and which path we shall reject. That they do not know. And na śaucam, not cleanliness. Even ordinary things, cleanliness, that is very hygienic. That also they do not know. Na śaucaṁ nāpi cācāraḥ. They do not know how to behave also. Na satyam: and no truthfulness is there. This verse we have already discussed.

Now, the next characteristic is asatyam: "This world is simply phenomenal; it has no foundation." The Māyāvādīs, they directly say, brahma satyaṁ jagan mithyā. So Māyāvādī, at least they say that "There is Brahman. He is truth. But this phenomenal world is not truth. Manifestation of material energy, that is not true."
