काङ्क्षन्तः कर्मणां सिद्धिं यजन्त इह देवताः । क्षिप्रं हि मानुषे लोके सिद्धिर्भवति कर्मजा ॥ १२ ॥
kāṅkṣhantaḥ karmaṇāṁ siddhiṁ yajanta iha devatāḥ kṣhipraṁ hi mānuṣhe loke siddhir bhavati karmajā
Translation
Those who desire success in their actions worship the gods here, for success born of action comes quickly in the human world.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
इस लोक में कर्मों के फल की इच्छा रखने वाले लोग देवताओं की पूजा करते हैं, क्योंकि मनुष्य-लोक में कर्मों से उत्पन्न सिद्धि शीघ्र ही मिल जाती है।
Commentary
Krishna observes, without condemning, why many worship for specific results: such worship brings quick, tangible outcomes. But those outcomes are limited — a theme he develops later (7.20–23).
