upāsate

सततं कीर्तयन्तो मां यतन्तश्च दृढव्रताः

upāsate — worship

Always singing of me, striving, firm in their resolve, bowing to me — they worship me with steadfast devotion.

ज्ञानयज्ञेन चाप्यन्ये यजन्तो मामुपासते

upāsate — worship

And others, offering the sacrifice of knowledge, worship me — some as one undivided, some as many.

मय्यावेश्य मनो ये मां नित्ययुक्ता उपासते

upāsate — worship

Those who fix their minds on me and worship me, always steady, with the highest faith — I hold them to be the best joined.

ये तु सर्वाणि कर्माणि मयि संन्यस्य मत्पराः

upāsate — worship

But those who, giving all their actions over to me, take me as the highest and worship me with a mind turned nowhere else —

अन्ये त्वेवमजानन्तः श्रुत्वाऽन्येभ्य उपासते

upāsate — begin to worship

And others, not knowing this, hear it from others and worship. They too cross beyond death, holding to what they have heard.
