Those who merely perform sacrifices [avidya] go into a darkness
that is like being blind. But those who merely worship gods and
goddesses [vidya] go into a deeper darkness.
(Shloka 9)
*Sacrifices – in the sense of actions in the outside
*Worship gods – in the meaning of inner actions (meditation)
The wise say that the path of avidya and the path of vidya produce different results.
(Shloka 10)
He who worships gods and goddesses [vidya] and also performs
sacrifices [avidya] attains immortality by sacrifices [avidya] and
attains bliss by worshipping gods and goddesses [vidya].
(Shloka 11)
