येऽप्यन्यदेवता भक्ता यजन्ते श्रद्धयान्विताः | तेऽपि मामेव कौन्तेय यजन्त्यविधिपूर्वकम्

即使那些信奉其他神祇並懷有信仰而崇拜祂們的人，貢蒂之子啊，他們也只是以錯誤的方式崇拜我。
Even those who, being devoted to other deities and endowed with faith, worship (them), they also, O son of Kunti, worship Me alone (though) following the wrong method.
他們在無知中崇拜我。他們的崇拜方式與古老的法則相悖。因此，他們會回到這個世界。人們崇拜阿耆尼、因陀羅、蘇利耶、伐樓那、婆藪等神祇，即使他們也能達到我，因為我無處不在。但他們的虔誠並不純粹，是間接的。水應澆灌根部而非枝葉。若根部滿足，整棵樹必將滿足。同樣，若我（此世界及眾神之根源）滿足，則眾神必將滿足。儘管五種感官的訊息匯聚於同一意識，但將甜食放入耳中、鮮花置於眼中是否正確且有用？飲食的功能必須由口完成，嗅聞的功能必須由鼻完成。因此，我應以我本來的面貌被崇拜。他們應知我為萬物之真我。他們應在其他崇拜中認出我。我是根源，我是眾神及整個世界的源頭。
They worship Me in ignorance. Their mode of worship is contrary to the ancient,rule. Hence they return to this world.People worship Agni? Indra? Surya? Varuna? the Vasus? etc. Even they attain Me? because I am everywhere. But their devotion is not pure. It is vicarious. Water should be given to the root and not to the branches. If the root is satisfied? the whole tree must be and is satisfied. Even so? if I (the root of this world and all the gods) am satisfied? all the gods must be and are satisfied. Though the messages from the five organs of knowledge reach the one consciousness? will it be right and useful to place a sweetmeat in the ear and a flower in the eyes The function of eating must be done by the mouth alone and the function of smelling by the nose alone. Therefore I should be worshipped in My own nature. They should know Me as the Self in all beings. They should recognise Me in other worship. I am the root. I am the source of all the gods and of this whole world. (Cf.IV.11VII.20)
