Bhagavad Gita As It Is

References to text BG 3.12
BG 3.12: In charge of the various necessities of life, the demigods, being satisï¬ed by the performance of yajña [sacriï¬ce], will supply all necessities to you. But he who enjoys such gifts without offering them to the demigods in return is certainly a thief.

While I am engaged in the business of killing Lord Viṣṇu, go down to the planet earth, which is flourishing due to brahminical culture and a kṣatriya government. These people engage in austerity, sacrifice, Vedic study, regulative vows, and charity. Destroy all the people thus engaged!
Hiranyakasipu, King of the Demons
SB 7.2.10
The activities of demigods lead to both misery and happiness for living beings, but the activities of great saints like you, who have accepted the infallible Lord as their very soul, result only in the happiness of all beings.
