Bhagavad Gita 9.23-24
Sanskrit
येऽप्यन्यदेवता भक्ता यजन्ते श्रद्धयान्विताः । तेऽपि मामेव कौन्तेय यजन्त्यविधिपूर्वकम् ॥9.23॥अहं हि सर्वयज्ञानां भोक्ता च प्रभुरेव च । न तु मामभिजानन्ति तत्त्वेनातश्च्यवन्ति ते ॥9.24॥
Transliteration
ye'pyanyadevatā bhaktā yajante śraddhayānvitāḥ | te'pi māmeva kaunteya yajantyavidhipūrvakam ‖9.23‖ ahaṃ hi sarvayajñānāṃ bhoktā ca prabhureva ca | na tu māmabhijānanti tattvenātaścyavanti te ‖9.24‖
Meaning
“Even devotees of other gods who sacrifice endowed with faith, they too worship Me alone, O son of Kunti, though not according to the rule. For I am the enjoyer and the lord of all sacrifices; but they do not know Me in truth, and so they fall.”
