In English
The votaries of the lesser powers go to them; the devotees of spirits go to them; they who worship the powers of darkness, to such powers shall they go; and so too, those who worship me shall come to me.
Translated by Shri Purohit Swami
The worshippers of the gods go to them; the ancestor-worshippers go to the manes; the worshippers of the deities who preside over the elements go to them; but My devotees come to Me.
Translated by Swami Sivananda
