sarva-kÄma-vara-pradÄm
arciá¹£yanti - will worship; manuá¹£yÄḥ - human society; tvÄm - unto you; sarva-kÄma-vara-Ä«Å›varÄ«m - because you are the best of the demigods who can fulfill all material desires; dhÅ«pa - by incense; upahÄra - by presentations; balibhiḥ - by different types of worship through sacrifice; sarva-kÄma - of all material desires; vara - the blessings; pradÄm - one who can bestow.
By sacrifices of animals, ordinary human beings will worship you gorgeously, with various paraphernalia, because you are supreme in fulfilling the material desires of everyone.
As stated in Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ (7.20), kÄmais tais tair há¹›ta jñÄnÄḥ prapadyante ’nya-devatÄḥ: “Those whose minds are distorted by material desires surrender unto demigods.†Therefore the word manuá¹£ya, meaning “human being,†here refers to one who does not know the actual goal of life. Such a person wants to enjoy the material world by taking birth in a highly elevated family with the benefits of education, beauty and immense wealth, which in this material world are desirable. One who has forgotten the real aim of life may worship the goddess DurgÄ, mÄyÄ-Å›akti, under various names, for different purposes, and in different places. As there are many holy places for the worship of Kṛṣṇa, there are also many holy places in India for the worship of DurgÄdevÄ«, or MÄyÄdevÄ«, who took birth as the daughter of YaÅ›odÄ. After cheating Kaá¹sa, MÄyÄdevÄ« dispersed herself to various places, especially in VindhyÄcala, to accept regular worship from ordinary men. A human being should actually be interested in understanding Ätma-tattva, the truth of ÄtmÄ, the spirit soul, and ParamÄtmÄ, the supreme soul. Those who are interested in Ätma-tattva worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead (yasmin vijñÄte sarvam evaá¹ vijñÄtaá¹ bhavati) (Muṇá¸aka Upaniá¹£ad 1.3). However, as explained in the next verse of this chapter, those who cannot understand Ätma-tattva (apaÅ›yatÄm Ätma-tattvam) worship Yoga-mÄyÄ in her different features. Therefore ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam (2.1.2) says:
Å›rotavyÄdÄ«ni rÄjendra
nṛṇÄá¹ santi sahasraÅ›aḥ
apaÅ›yatÄm Ätma-tattvaá¹
gá¹›heá¹£u gá¹›ha-medhinÄm
“Those persons who are materially engrossed, being blind to the knowledge of ultimate truth, have many subject matters for hearing in human society, O Emperor.†Those who are interested in remaining in this material world and are not interested in spiritual salvation have many duties, but for one who is interested in spiritual salvation, the only duty is to surrender fully unto Kṛṣṇa (sarva-dharmÄn parityajya mÄm ekaá¹ Å›araṇaá¹ vraja). Such a person is not interested in material enjoyment.
