Gyana Karma Sannyasa Yogah - Those desiring success in their actions in this world worship the gods, for success born of actions is quickly attained.
काङ् क्षन्त: कर्मणां सिद्धिं यजन्त इह देवता: |
क्षिप्रं हि मानुषे लोके सिद्धिर्भवति कर्मजा ||12||

Those desiring success in their actions in this world worship the gods, for success born of actions is quickly attained.

  • Devatah: Demigods worshiped for material gains.
  • Karmaja: Born of action.

Krishna observes that some seek material success through worship, emphasizing that worldly accomplishments are temporary. This foreshadows the greater rewards of spiritual pursuit and suggests that while material gains are real, they lack the permanence and fulfillment found in Krishna’s path.
