Explicación
Krishna returns to the question of other gods with remarkable openness. Those devoted to other deities who worship them with faith (śraddhā) are, in truth, worshipping Krishna himself, though not according to the proper rule, avidhi-pūrvakam. The verse holds together two ideas: all sincere worship reaches the one source, and yet worship that does not know its true object is incomplete. It allows respect for other forms of devotion while still pointing to a fuller understanding.
