Who is actually worshipped through the Vedic yajña?

One of the points Krishna makes here is that he himself is the true object of worship and the recipient of the offerings made into the sacred fire. This point was established at the end of Chapter 5, where Krishna referred to himself bhoktaram yajña-tapasam, the true object of yajña and of acts of austerity. The same point is made here, but it is shown that the worshippers being described do not understand this point and think they are worshipping the gods named in the hymns of the Rigveda. This point is made clear in verse 24. Krishna is indeed the true object of worship in Vedic ritual, but because the enactors of the ritual do not understand this, they do not gain the full reward of devotion to Krishna, which will now be discussed.
