Those men who, having nothing else as their goal, worship Me everywhere and are constantly thinking of Me alone; to them, who are fully and constantly attached to Me, I bear acquisition and the security of acquisition.
But if a man will meditate on Me and Me alone, and will worship Me always and everywhere, I will take upon Myself the fulfillment of his aspiration, and I will safeguard whatsoever he shall attain.
There are those who, excluding all else, think of Me and worship Me, aspiring after eternal union with Me. Their prosperity and welfare (Yoga and Ksema) are looked after by Me.
Those persons who, becoming non-different from Me and meditative, worship Me everywhere, for them, who are ever attached (to Me), I arrange for securing what they lack and preserving what they have.
To those men who worship Me alone, thinking of no other, of those ever united, I secure what is not already possessed and preserve what they already possess.

For I am the enjoyer and the Lord of all sacrifices, yet they do not recognize Me correctly and thus they turn away.
I am the willing recipient of sacrifice, and I am its true Lord. But these do not know me in truth, and so they sink back.
For, I am the only enjoyer and the only Lord of all sacrifices. They do not recognise Me in My true nature; hence they fall.
I indeed am the enjoyer as also the Lord of all sacrifices; but they do not know Me in reality. Therefore they fall.
(For) I alone am the enjoyer and also the Lord of all sacrifices; but they do not know Me in essence (in reality), and hence they fall (return to this mortal world).

O son of Kunti! Even those who are devotees of other gods and worship them with faith, worship Me alone, but following non-injunctive practices.
Even those who worship the lesser Powers, if they do so with faith, they thereby worship Me, though not in the right way.
Even those who are devoted to other divinities with faith in their hearts, worship Me alone, O Arjuna, though not as sanctioned by the Sastras.
Even those who, being devoted to other deities and endowed with faith, worship (them), they also, O son of Kunti, worship Me alone (though) following the wrong method.
Even those devotees who, endowed with faith, worship other gods, worship Me only, O Arjuna, but by the wrong method!
