यज्ञे तपसि दाने च स्थितिः सदिति चोच्यते । कर्म चैव तदर्थीयं सदित्येवाभिधीयते ॥ २७ ॥
yajñe tapasi dāne cha sthitiḥ sad iti chochyate karma chaiva tad-arthīyaṁ sad ity evābhidhīyate
Translation
Steadfastness in sacrifice, austerity and charity is also called "Sat," and any action done for that purpose is likewise called "Sat."
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
यज्ञ, तप और दान में जो स्थिति (निष्ठा) है, वह भी "सत्" कही जाती है, और उनके लिए किया गया कर्म भी "सत्" ही कहा जाता है।
Commentary
Even the steadiness (sthiti) of doing good, sticking with it over time, is called Sat. And tad-arthiyam karma, "action for that purpose," is Sat too: even humble supporting work, like cleaning a temple or cooking for a feast, shares in the sanctity of the act it serves.
