antavat tu phalaṃ teṣāṃ tad bhavaty alpa-medhasām | devān deva-yajo yānti mad-bhaktā yānti mām api || 23 ||
"Men of small intelligence worship the demigods, and their fruits are limited and temporary. Those who worship the demigods go to the planets of the demigods, but My devotees ultimately reach My supreme planet."
