यजन्ते सात्त्विका देवान्यक्षरक्षांसि राजसाः | प्रेतान्भूतगणांश्चान्ये यजन्ते तामसा जनाः
yajante sāttvikā devānyakṣarakṣāṃsi rājasāḥ . pretānbhūtagaṇāṃścānye yajante tāmasā janāḥ
悅性之人祭祀諸天;變性之人祭祀夜叉與羅剎;而其他惰性之人則祭祀餓鬼與諸靈。
Those having the sattva ality worship the gods; those having rajas, the demi-gods and ogres; and other people possessed of tamas worship ghosts and the hosts of spirits.
克里希納主在定義信心之後,告訴阿周那這種信心如何決定崇拜的對象。信心的性質(無論是悅性、變性還是惰性)必須從其特有的效果來推斷,即對神靈等的崇拜。每個人都根據其主導的德性(Guna)選擇崇拜對象。一個人信心的表達取決於他體內佔主導地位的德性。悅性之人會以悅性的方式表達其信心,變性之人以變性的方式表達,而惰性之人則以惰性的方式表達。悅性之人或具有悅性信心、虔誠崇拜神靈的人,在這個世界上是稀有的。夜叉(Yakshas)是財神俱毗羅的兄弟,是財富的守護神,是精靈。羅剎(Rakshasas)是具有力量和權能的眾生,如奈里塔惡魔,擁有幻術能力的巨人。餓鬼(Bhutas)指鬼魂。
Lord Krishna? after defining faith? tells Arjuna how this faith determines the object of worship. The nature of the faith (whether it is Sattvic? Rajasic or Tamasic) has to be inferred from its characteristic effects? viz.? the worship of the gods and the like. Each man selects his object of worship according to the ruling Guna of his being. The expression of a mans faith depends on the Guna that is predominant in him. A Sattvic man will give his faith the Sattvic expression? a Rajasic man the Rajasic expression and a Tamasic man the Tamasic expression.Sattvic persons or people with Sattvic faith who are devoted to the worship of the gods? are rare in this world.Yakshas are the brothers of Kubera? the lord of wealth gnomes? the spirits that guard wealth.Rakshasas Beings of strength and power such as Nairrita demons giants gifted with illusive powers.Bhutas Ghosts.
