Bhagavad Gita 17.4

यजन्ते सात्त्विका देवान्यक्षरक्षांसि राजसाः।प्रेतान्भूतगणांश्चान्ये यजन्ते तामसा जनाः॥

yajante sāttvikā devānyakṣarakṣāṃsi rājasāḥ |pretānbhūtagaṇāṃścānye yajante tāmasā janāḥ ||

The sattvic, or pure, men worship the gods; the rajasic, or passionate, worship the yakshas and rakshasas; the others, the tamasic or deluded people, worship ghosts and hosts of nature-spirits.

The pure worship the true God; the passionate, the powers of wealth and magic; the ignorant, the spirits of the dead and lower orders of nature.

Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
