kāṅkṣantaḥ karmaṇāṁ siddhiṁ yajanta iha devatāḥ | kṣipraṁ hi mānuṣe loke siddhir bhavati karmajā ||
এই মানুহলোকত কৰ্মসিদ্ধি কামনা কৰা লোকসকলে দেৱতাসকলক পূজা কৰে; কিয়নো কৰ্মজন্য সিদ্ধি ইয়াত সোনকালে লাভ হয়।

Educational Q&A
People often worship various deities because they seek quick, tangible success from their actions; results born of karma are perceived as readily obtainable in the human realm, so devotion becomes instrumentally tied to immediate gains.
In response to the question of why people do not simply worship the Supreme, the text explains the practical psychology of worship: many aim at swift fulfillment of desires and therefore turn to deity-worship associated with prompt worldly attainments.
