अश्रद्धया हुतं दत्तं तपस्तप्तं कृतं च यत् |
असदित्युच्यते पार्थ न च तत्प्रेत्य नो इह ||१७-२८||
aśraddhayā hutaṃ dattaṃ tapastaptaṃ kṛtaṃ ca yat . asadityucyate pārtha na ca tatprepya no iha ||17-28||
।।17.28।। हे पार्थ ! जो यज्ञ, दान, तप और कर्म अश्रद्धापूर्वक किया जाता है, वह 'असत्' कहा जाता है; वह न इस लोक में (इह) और न मरण के पश्चात् (उस लोक में) लाभदायक होता है।।
17.28 अश्रद्धया without faith? हुतम् is sacrificed? दत्तम् given? तपः austerity? तप्तम् is practised? कृतम् performed? च and? यत् whatever? असत् Asat? इति thus? उच्यते is called? पार्थ O Partha? न not? च and? तत् that? प्रेत्य hereafter (after death)? न not? इह here.Commentary Asat That which changes form and has no permanent existence. It does not mean nonexistence as such.Acts of sacrifice? austerity and gift that are performed without faith? under pressure? or to prevent some sort of trouble
Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.
17.28 O son of Prtha, whatever is offered in sacrifice and given in charity, as also whatever austerity is undertakne or whatever is done without, faith, is said to be of on avail. And it is of no conseence after death, nor here.
।।17.28।।क्योंकि सभी जगह श्रद्धाकी प्रधानतासे ही सब कुछ किया जाता है? इसलिये --, बिना श्रद्धाके किया हुआ हवन? बिना श्रद्धाके ब्राह्मणोंको दिया हुआ दान? तपा हुआ तप तथा और भी जो कुछ बिना श्रद्धाके किया हुआ स्तुति -- नमस्कारादि कर्म है वह सब? हे पार्थ मेरी प्राप्तिके साधनमार्गसे बाह्य होनेके कारण असत् है? ऐसा कहा जाता है। क्योंकि वह बहुत परिश्रमयुक्त होनेपर भी साधु पुरुषोंद्वारा निन्दित होनेके कारण न तो मरनेके पश्चात् फल देनेवाला होता है और न इस लोकमें ही सुखदायक होता है।
