Anuvaad
"He Kaunteya, jo anya devtaaon ke bhakt shraddha se un ki pooja karte hain, ve bhi mujhe hi poojte hain — par avidhi-poorvak (poori samajh ke bina)."
Bhaavaarth
Shankaracharya. Śraddhayā āstikya-buddhyā anvitāḥ — aastikya-buddhi se yukt; te'pi mām eva … yajanti avidhi-pūrvakam, avidhiḥ ajñānaṃ tat-pūrvakaṃ yajante — ve bhi mujhe hi poojte hain, par agyaan-poorvak.
Aacharya Ramanuja — devta Bhagavan ka sharir. Sarvasya mac-charīratayā mad-ātmatvena indrādi-śabdānāṃ ca mad-vācitvād vastuto mām eva yajante — sab mera sharir hai, main sab ki aatma, aur Indra aadi shabd antatah mujhe hi kehte hain — isliye ve vaastav mein mujhe hi poojte hain; api tu avidhi-pūrvakaṃ … indrādīnāṃ devatānāṃ karmasu ārādhyatayā anvayaṃ yathā vedānta-vākyāni … vidadhati na tat-pūrvakaṃ yajante — par Vedanta jis tarah (Indra aadi ko Param Purush ke sharir roop mein) aaraadhya batata hai, us vidhi se nahin.
