…these senseless people torment the elements that make up the body, and me as well, dwelling within the body. Know them to be of demonic resolve.
Explanation
Krishna continues describing people who practise harsh austerity (tapas) that the scriptures do not prescribe, driven by pride and desire. He says they torment the elements (bhūtagrāma) that make up the body, and him too as the one dwelling within, and that their resolve is demonic (āsura). The 'me' here is generally understood as the Lord present within every body as its inner Self or witness, so that abusing the body is also an offence against him.
