mā śucaḥ sampadaṃ daivīmabhijāto’si pāṇḍava .. 5 ..
The divine nature is deemed for liberation, the demoniac for bondage. Grieve not, O Pāṇḍava; thou art born for a divine lot.

Liberation : from the bondage of samsara. The demoniac (asuric) nature leads to an unfailing bondage and so does the fiendish (Rakshasic) nature.—Now, seeing some such question as Am I possessed of demoniac nature, or of divine nature?" occur in the mind of Arjuna on hearing what has been said, the Lord again says: grieve not; thou art born for a divine lot; i.e., thou hast happiness in prospect.
