काङ्क्षन्तः कर्मणां सिद्धिं यजन्त इह देवताः।
क्षिप्रं हि मानुषे लोके सिद्धिर्भवति कर्मजा।।4.12।।
।।4.12।। (सामान्य मनुष्य) यहाँ (इस लोक में) कर्मों के फल को चाहते हुये देवताओं को पूजते हैं क्योंकि मनुष्य लोक में कर्मों के फल शीघ्र ही प्राप्त होते हैं।।
Those that are worshipping the demi-gods and other religions and denominations, how can they be understood to be following Lord Krishnas path? The proof is given in the second half of this verse being: quick indeed do they get their desired fruits from such worship. This is confirmed in the Chandogya Upanisad where it states: tasya ime venayam gayanti, tasmat te dhanasanayah which clarifies that from the Supreme Lord alone are bequeathed the rewards of ones actions.
