ye 'py anya-devatā-bhaktā yajante śraddhayānvitāḥ | te 'pi mām eva kaunteya yajanty avidhi-pūrvakam ||
Translation
Selbst jene, die voller Glauben andere Gottheiten verehren—o Sohn der Kuntī—verehren in Wahrheit Mich allein; doch tun sie es nicht in rechter Weise, da ihnen das Verständnis des wahren Prinzips und der vorgeschriebenen Ordnung fehlt.
