अन्तवत्तु फलं तेषां तद्भवत्यल्पमेधसाम् | देवान्देवयजो यान्ति मद्भक्ता यान्ति मामपि
antavattu phalaṃ teṣāṃ tadbhavatyalpamedhasām . devāndevayajo yānti madbhaktā yānti māmapi
那些智力淺薄者的果報，確實是有限的。崇拜諸神者歸於諸神，而我的奉獻者則唯獨歸於我。
That result of theirs who are of poor intellect is indeed limited. The worshippers of gods go to the gods. My devotees go to Me alone.
兩種崇拜方式所付出的努力相同，然而人們卻不願崇拜至高無上的存在，以獲得最大的利益或無限的回報（即解脫或「Moksha」）。那些智力淺薄、心胸狹隘之人，崇拜次級神祇所獲得的回報是微小、易逝且暫時的。「Yajnas」（吠陀祭祀）、「Homas」（火供儀式）和各種「Tapas」（苦行）只能為實踐者帶來暫時的回報。唯有從輪迴之輪中解脫，才能帶來永恆的喜樂與和平。崇拜因陀羅等神祇者是「Sattvic」（悅性）的奉獻者；崇拜「Yakshas」（夜叉）和「Rakshasas」（羅剎）等魔性眾生者是「Rajasic」（變性）的奉獻者；而崇拜「Bhutas」（鬼魂）和「Pretas」（餓鬼）等無形靈體者則是「Tamasic」（惰性）的奉獻者。崇拜小神祇者的知識是片面且不完整的，無法導向解脫。(參見《薄伽梵歌》第九章第二十五節)
The exertion in the two kinds is the same and yet people do not attempt to worship the Supreme Being in order to attain the maximum benefits or the infinite reward (liberation or Moksha). The reward obtained by men of small understandng and petty intellect who worship the minor deities is small? perishable and temporary.Yajnas (Vedic rituals)? Homas (rituals in which oblations are offered into the sacred fire) and Tapas (penance) of various sorts can bestow only temporary rewards on the performer. Liberation from the wheel of transmigration alone will give everlasting bliss and eternal peace.Those who worship Indra and others are Sattvic devotees those who worship Yakshas and Rakshasas (demoniacal beings) are Rajasic devotees and those who worship the Bhutas and Pretas (discarnate spirits) are Tamasic devotees.The knowledge of those who worship the small deities is partial and incomplete. It cannot lead to liberation. (Cf.IX.25)
