स तया श्रद्धया युक्तस्तस्याराधनमीहते | लभते च ततः कामान्मयैव विहितान्हि तान्

懷抱此等信念之人,便會從事對該形相的崇拜,並從中獲得其所欲求之果報,而這些果報實則皆由我所賜予。
Being imbued with that faith, that person engages in worshipping that form, and he gets those very desired results therefrom as they are dispensed by Me alone.
奉獻者崇拜次級神祇,以求實現其願望(如次要神通等)。這些願望的實現,唯有主才能賜予,因為唯有祂確切知曉行為與其結果或回報之間的關係,且祂是所有眾生的內在主宰。不明智或缺乏辨別力的人,僅僅尋求獲得這些有限的、難以帶來完全滿足的回報。他們的命運確實可悲,他們缺乏「VicharaSakti」(辨別力)或正確的理解。他們得到的只是玻璃碎片,而非那無價的「Atman」(真我)寶石。
The last two words Hi and Tan are taken as one word? Hitan meaning benefits. This is another interpretation. The devotee who worships the lesser gods attains the objects of his desire (minor psychic powers? etc.). Those objects are ordained by the Lord only as He alone knows exactly the relation between the actions and their results or rewards and as He is the Inner Ruler of all beings. Unwise or undiscriminating people only take recourse to the means of getting these finite rewards which can hardly give entire satisfaction. Pitiable indeed is their lot They have,no power of eniry (VicharaSakti) or right understanding. They get hold of pieces of glass instead of attaining the jewel of the Self? of incalculabe value.
