TRANSLATION — TRADUCCION

Penance performed out of foolishness, with self-torture or to destroy or injure others, is said to be in the mode of ignorance.

Se dice que la penitencia que se ejecuta neciamente por medio de la tortura obstinada de uno mismo, o para destruir o perjudicar a los demás, está en la modalidad de la ignorancia.

PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO

There are instances of foolish penance undertaken by demons like Hiraṇyakaśipu, who performed austere penances to become immortal and kill the demigods. He prayed to Brahmā for such things, but ultimately he was killed by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. To undergo penances for something which is impossible is certainly in the mode of ignorance.
