Word-by-word meanings

7.22 सः he? तया with that? श्रद्धया with faith? युक्तः endowed? तस्य of it? आराधनम् worship? ईहते engages in? लभते obtains? च and? ततः from that? कामान् desires? मया by Me? एव surely? विहितान् ordained? हि verily? तान् those.Commentary The last two words Hi and Tan are taken as one word? Hitan meaning benefits. This is another interpretation. The devotee who worships the lesser gods attains the objects of his desire (minor psychic powers? etc.). Those objects are ordained by the Lord only as He

Commentaries

Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.

Sri Shankaracharya

।।7.22।।मेरे द्वारा स्थिर की हुई उस श्रद्धासे युक्त हुआ वह उसी देवताके स्वरूपकी सेवा पूजा करनेमें तत्पर होता है। और उस आराधित देवविग्रहसे कर्मफलविभागके जाननेवाले मुझ सर्वज्ञ ईश्वरद्वारा निश्चित किये हुए इष्ट भोगोंको प्राप्त करता है। वे भोग परमेश्वरद्वारा निश्चित किये होते हैं इसलिये वह उन्हें अवश्य पाता है यह अभिप्राय है। यहाँपर यदि हितान् ऐसा पदच्छेद करें तो भोगोंमे जो हितत्व है उसको औपचारिक समझना चाहिये क्योंकि वास्तवमें भोग किसीके लिये भी हितकर नहीं हो सकते।

Swami Gambirananda

7.22 Being imbued with that faith, that person engages in worshipping that form, and he gets those very desired results therefrom as they are dispensed by Me alone.
