।।7.22।।उस (मेरे द्वारा दृढ़ की हुई) श्रद्धासे युक्त होकर वह मनुष्य (सकामभावपूर्वक) उस देवताकी उपासना करता है और उसकी वह कामना पूरी भी होती है परन्तु वह कामनापूर्ति मेरे द्वारा विहित की हुई ही होती है।
।।7.22।। वह (भक्त) उस श्रद्धा से युक्त होकर उस देवता का पूजन करता है और उससे मेरे द्वारा विधान किये हुये इच्छित भोगों को निसन्देह प्राप्त करता है।।
।।7.22।। व्याख्या स तया श्रद्धया युक्तः ৷৷. मयैव विहितान्हि तान् मेरे द्वारा दृढ़ की हुई श्रद्धासे सम्पन्न हुआ वह मनुष्य उस देवताकी आराधनाकी चेष्टा करता है और उस देवतासे जिस कामनापूर्तिकी आशा रखता है उस कामनाकी पूर्ति होती है। यद्यपि वास्तवमें उस कामनाकी पूर्ति मेरे द्वारा ही की हुई होती है परन्तु वह उसको देवतासे ही पूरी की हुई मानता है। वास्तवमें देवताओंमें मेरी ही शक्ति है और मेरे ही विधानसे वे उनकी कामनापूर्ति करते हैं।जैसे सरकारी अफसरोंको एक सीमित अधिकार दिया जाता है कि तुमलोग अमुक विभागमें अमुक अवसरपर इतना खर्च कर सकते हो इतना इनाम दे सकते हो। ऐसे ही देवताओंमें एक सीमातक ही देनेकी शक्ति होती है अतः वे उतना ही दे सकते हैं अधिक नहीं। देवताओंमें अधिकसेअधिक इतनी शक्ति होती है कि वे अपनेअपने उपासकोंको अपनेअपने लोकोंमें ले जा सकते हैं। परन्तु अपनी उपासनाका फल भोगनेपर उनको वहाँसे लौटकर पुनः संसारमें आना पड़ता है (गीता 8। 16)।यहाँ मयैव कहनेका तात्पर्य है कि संसारमें स्वतः जो कुछ संचालन हो रहा है वह सब मेरा ही किया हुआ है। अतः जिस किसीको जो कुछ मिलता है वह सब मेरे द्वारा विधान किया हुआ ही मिलता है। कारण कि मेरे सिवाय विधान करनेवाला दूसरा कोई नहीं है। अगर कोई मनुष्य इस रहस्यको समझ ले तो फिर वह केवल मेरी तरफ ही खिंचेगा। सम्बन्ध अब भगवान् उपासनाके अनुसार फलका वर्णन करते हैं।
।।7.22।। वह भक्त उस श्रद्धा से युक्त होकर अपने इष्ट देवता की आराधना करता है जिसके फलस्वरूप वह देवता उसकी इच्छा को पूर्ण करता है। परन्तु भगवान् कहते हैं कि वास्तव में कर्मफलदाता वे ही हैं। सर्वज्ञ सर्वशक्तिमान परमात्मा ही समस्त जगत् का आदि कारण होने से मनुष्य को कर्म करने की और देवताओं को फल प्रदान करने की सार्मथ्य उन्हीं से प्राप्त होती है। इष्टानिष्ट फलों की प्राप्ति से सुख दुखादि का अनुभव अन्तकरण में होता है जिसे आत्मचैतन्य प्रकाशित करता है। उसके बिना इस प्रकार का कोई अनुभव प्राप्त नहीं हो सकता।श्रद्धा के साथ किये हुये पूजन से ईश्वर द्वारा विधान किये हुए नियम के अनुसार फल प्राप्त होता है। यहाँ श्रीकृष्ण अपने परमात्म स्वरूप के साथ तादात्म्य करके कहते हैं वे इष्ट फल मेरे द्वारा ही दिये जाते हैं।अविवेकी लोग अनित्य भोगों की कामना करते हैं इसलिए उन्हें कभी शाश्वत शान्ति प्राप्त नहीं होती अत कहते हैं
7.22 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.
7.22 Endowed with that faith, he engages in the worship of that (form) and from it he obtains his desire, these being verily ordained by Me (alone).
7.22. Endowed with that faith, he seeks to worship that deity and therefrom receives his desired objects that are ordained by none but Me.
7.22 सः he? तया with that? श्रद्धया with faith? युक्तः endowed? तस्य of it? आराधनम् worship? ईहते engages in? लभते obtains? च and? ततः from that? कामान् desires? मया by Me? एव surely? विहितान् ordained? हि verily? तान् those.Commentary 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.
7.22 Yuktah,being endued; taya, with that; sraddhaya, faith, as granted by Me; sah, that person; ihate, engages in; radhanam, i.e. aradhanam, worshipping; tasyah, that form of the deity. And labhate, he gets; tan hi, those very; kaman, desired results; tatah, there-from, from that form of the deity which was worshipped; as vihitan, they are dispensed, meted out; maya eva, by Me alone, who am the omniscient, supreme God, because I am possessed of the knowledge of the apportionment of the results of actions. The meaning his that he surely gets those desired results since they are ordained by God. If the reading be hitan (instead of hi tan), then the beneficence (-hita means beneficent-) of the desired result should be interpreted in a figurative sense, for desires cannot be beneficial to anyone!
7.22 See Comment under 7.23
7.22 He, endowed with that faith without obstacles, performs the worship of Indra and other divinities. Thence, i.e., from the worship of Indra and other divinities, who constitute My body, he attains the objects of his desire, which are in reality granted by Me alone. Although he does not know at the time of worship that divinities like Indra, who are his objects of worship, are My body only, and that worship of them is My worship, still, inasmuch as this worship is, in reality, My worship, he attains his objects of desire granted by Me alone.
That person, endowed with that faith, performs (ihate) worship of that devata. He obtains the results of that worship (kaman) from the worship of that particular devata. But those devatas cannot fulfill those desires. It is I who fulfill those desires.
The word yuktah meaning endowed is referring to the previous verse where Lord Krishna makes the faith steady. Such people then worship their chosen demigod to get their particular desire of objects coveted fulfilled. But it should be understood that whatever it was that has been fulfilled has only been granted by the will of the Supreme Lord, who is paramatma the Supreme Soul dwelling inside the hearts of all the demigods and are but parts of His form, under His complete control along with all sentient beings in existence.
There is no commentary for this verse.
Whosoever then worships the demigods with unflinching faith which was bequeathed by the Supreme Lord and constitute a portion of His body, will certainly obtain their cherished desires; but such desires were sanctioned and granted by the authority of the Supreme Lord. When a votary of the demigods is engaged in ingratiating themselves into their good graces they are oblivious to the reality that the demigods comprise the Supreme Lords body and that worship offered to them is actually in fact offerings rendered to Him. But even though such worship is not directed towards Himself, the Supreme Lord accepts such offerings as if they were to Him and therefore grants the desires so longed for by the votary.
