But the reward these people gain is finite, for they are of small understanding. Those who worship the gods go to the gods; my devotees come to me as well.
Explanation
Krishna is continuing his remarks about people who worship other deities to obtain their desires. He says such rewards are limited and end, because those seeking them see only a small part of reality. Worshippers of the gods reach the gods' realms, while his devotees (bhakta) reach him. Traditions differ on whether the other gods are lesser forms of the one Lord or truly distinct beings, but all read the verse as contrasting temporary and lasting results.
