Brahmā (deduced from Brahmottarakhaṇḍa context; speaker not explicit in the snippet)
Scene: Personified vices emerging from a dark figure labeled Adharma: Kāma with bow/flowers, Krodha with flaming eyes, Lobha clutching coins, Mada with wine-cup, Māna with raised chin; they stand as wardens at the gate of a gloomy naraka-city.
FAQs

None; the verse is an ethical-cosmological mapping of vices to naraka.
No explicit ritual; the implied discipline is restraint over kāma, krodha, and lobha.
