Prabhupāda:

" ye ‘py anya-devatā-bhaktā yajante śraddhayānvitāḥ te ‘pi mām eva kaunteya yajanty avidhi-pūrvakam"

So worship of the Supreme Lord and worship of other demigods, that is being discussed in this verse by Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Actually, there is no need of worshiping any demigod beside the Supreme. But in the lower stage		New York
