अभिसन्धाय तु फलं दम्भार्थमपि चैव यत् |

इज्यते भरतश्रेष्ठ तं यज्ञं विद्धि राजसम् || 12||

abhisandhāya tu phalaṁ dambhārtham api chaiva yat
ijyate bharata-śhreṣhṭha taṁ yajñaṁ viddhi rājasam

भावार्थ:

परन्तु हे अर्जुन! केवल दम्भाचरण के लिए अथवा फल को भी दृष्टि में रखकर जो यज्ञ किया जाता है, उस यज्ञ को तू राजस जान ॥12॥

Translation

O best of the Bharatas, know that sacrifice, which is performed for material benefit, or with hypocritical aim, to be in the mode of passion.
