देवता

Devata means a divine power or deity who is worshipped. In the Gita deities appear as real objects of worship. In the seventh chapter, people carried by their desires resort to other deities (Gita 7.20), and by that worship they receive what they seek, arranged by the Lord (Gita 7.22).

In the third chapter the gods, nourished by sacrifice, give the enjoyments that are wished for (Gita 3.12). The ninth chapter makes it clear that faithful worship of other deities reaches the Lord too, but without right understanding (Gita 9.23), because he is the enjoyer and master of every sacrifice (Gita 9.24).

Common misreading: that the Gita calls the deities false or useless.

Better sense: the verses treat the deities as real objects of worship and honour that worship. The limit lies in the fruit, which is perishable, and in the rule that each reaches what he worships (Gita 9.25).
