The deities are adored on Earth by men only when they are filled with devotion originating from the celestials themselves. Hence, one should, approaching them, make gifts to all Brahmanas, respecting such gifts as are made to the celestial themselves.
देवताः यूजयन्तीह दैवेनैवेह तेजसा। उपेत्य तस्माद् देवेभ्यः सर्वेभ्यो दापयेन्नरः॥
