यो यो यां यां तनुं भक्तः श्रद्धयार्चितुमिच्छति ।तस्य तस्याचलां श्रद्धां तामेव विदधाम्यहम् ॥
yo yo yāṃ yāṃ tanuṃ bhaktaḥ śraddhayārcitumicchati |tasya tasyācalāṃ śraddhāṃ tāmeva vidadhāmyaham ||
Whatever form a devotee wishes to worship with faith, whoever that devotee may be, to that very person I make that faith steady and unwavering.
Explanation
Krishna has just said that people driven by various desires turn to other deities. Here he says that when someone sincerely wants to worship a particular form (tanu), Krishna himself makes that person's faith (śraddhā) steady. Commentators differ on emphasis: some stress that all sincere worship is ultimately supported by the one Lord, while others stress that this steadiness leads only to limited results, as the following verses suggest.
