Verily, the reward (fruit) that accrues to those men of small intelligence is finite. The worshippers of the gods go to them, whereas My devotees come to Me.

Swami Sivananda

The result of those who are of poor intellect is indeed limited. The worshippers of gods go to the gods, while My devotees go to Me alone.

Swami Gambirananda

Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).

But the fruit gained by these men of small understanding is limited. The worshippers of the gods will go to the gods, but My devotees will come to Me.

Swami Adidevananda

Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).

But the fruit of those of poor intellect is finite; those who perform sacrifices aiming at the gods go to the gods, and My devotees come to Me.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).

The fruit that comes to people of limited insight is, after all, finite. Those who worship the Lower Powers attain them; but those who worship Me come to Me alone.

Shri Purohit Swami

परन्तु उन अल्पबुद्धिवाले मनुष्योंको उन देवताओंकी आराधनाका फल अन्तवाला (नाशवान्) ही मिलता है। देवताओंका पूजन करनेवाले देवताओंको प्राप्त होते हैं और मेरे भक्त मेरे ही प्राप्त होते हैं।

Swami Ramsukhdas

परन्तु उन अल्प बुद्धि पुरुषों का वह फल नाशवान् होता है। देवताओं के पूजक देवताओं को प्राप्त होते हैं और मेरे भक्त मुझे ही प्राप्त होते हैं।

Swami Tejomayananda
