यज्ञदानतपःकर्म न त्याज्यं कार्यमेव तत् । यज्ञो दानं तपश्चैव पावनानि मनीषिणाम् ॥ ५ ॥
yajña-dāna-tapaḥ-karma na tyājyaṁ kāryam eva tat yajño dānaṁ tapaśh chaiva pāvanāni manīṣhiṇām
Translation
Acts of sacrifice, charity and austerity should not be given up; they should certainly be performed. Sacrifice, charity and austerity purify even the wise.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
यज्ञ, दान और तप रूपी कर्म त्यागने योग्य नहीं हैं, उन्हें अवश्य करना चाहिए। यज्ञ, दान और तप बुद्धिमानों को भी पवित्र करने वाले हैं।
Commentary
Krishna sides clearly with those who keep acting. Sacred acts purify "even the wise" (manishinam): no one becomes so advanced that they no longer need worship, generosity and self-discipline.
