भावार्थ:

सात्त्विक पुरुष देवों को पूजते हैं, राजस पुरुष यक्ष और राक्षसों को तथा अन्य जो तामस मनुष्य हैं, वे प्रेत और भूतगणों को पूजते हैं ॥4॥

Translation

Those in the mode of goodness worship the celestial gods; those in the mode of passion worship the yakṣhas and rākṣhasas; those in the mode of ignorance worship ghosts and spirits.

English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya’s Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda
