A collection of Brahmanda Purana quotes.
The five joints of Avidya are ignorance, delusion, desire of enjoyment, anger and fear of death.

Through Adharma (evil), Himsa (Violence) gave birth to two
children dishonesty (or wickedness) and Falsehood. Dishonesty gave birth to
fear and hell. Falsehood gave birth to Maya (illusion) and pain. Maya gave
birth to Death and Pain gave birth to Misery and Sickness. Then Sickness gave
birth to Old age, grief, anger and jealousy. All these are remembered as the
characteristics of Adharma (evil).
A devotee whose soul is sanctified by means of Ash-bath, who has conquered anger and who has
subdued his sense organs does not go back (i.e. is not born again) after coming
near me (Shiva).
Forgiveness, fortitude, non-violence, absence of attachment
to all (worldly things) and equal indifference to both honor and
dishonor—these constitute the excellent covering garment.
