  1. badly or wrongly done, ill done; wrongly arranged or applied

      सोऽस्यैष सुकृत आत्मा । तद्यस्य हैतमेवं सुकृतमात्मानं कुर्वन्त्येतं ह स सुकृतमात्मानमभिसम्भवत्यथ यस्य हैतमतोऽन्यथा कुर्वन्ति दुष्कृतं ह तस्यात्मानं कुर्वन्ति स ह स दुष्कृतम् एवात्मानमभिसम्भवति

      That body of his (Agni) is well-made; --and, indeed, for whomsoever they thus make that body of his so as to be well-made, he becomes possessed of that body of his as a well-made one; but for whomsoever they make it otherwise than that, for him they make that body of his so as to be ill-made, and he becomes possessed of an ill-made body.
