Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
वह उस श्रद्धा से युक्त होकर उस देवता की आराधना करता है और उससे अपनी कामनाओं की पूर्ति प्राप्त करता है, जो वास्तव में मेरे द्वारा ही विधान की जाती है।
English Translation
Endowed with that faith, he engages in the worship of that deity and obtains his desires, which are in reality granted by Me alone.
Commentary (टीका)
The fruits obtained from worshipping any deity actually come from Krishna alone, the supreme source. The other deities are channels, but the real power behind all blessings is the Supreme Lord. This understanding helps the devotee eventually recognize the one source behind all divine manifestations.
