TRANSLATION
In all sacrificial ceremonies, although sometimes a demigod is wor-
shiped, the Supreme Lord Personality of Godhead is worshiped because
He is the Supersoul of everyone, and exists both inside and outside like the
-air. Thus it is He only who awards all welfare to the worshiper.
PURPORT
It is even sometimes seen that demigods like Indra, Candra, etc., are
worshiped and offered sacrificial awards, yet the rewards of all such sacri-
fices are awarded to the worshiper by the Supreme Lord, and it is the Lord
only who can offer all welfare to the worshiper. The demigods, although
worshiped, cannot do anything without the sanction of the Lord because
the Lord is the Supersoul of everyone, both moving and nonmoving.
