28 (12), Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 17, Verse 28

अश्रद्धया हुतं दत्तं तपस्तप्तं कृतं च यत् |
असदित्युच्यते पार्थ न च तत्प्रेत्य नो इह || 28||

aśhraddhayā hutaṁ dattaṁ tapas taptaṁ kṛitaṁ cha yat
asad ity uchyate pārtha na cha tat pretya no iha

भावार्थ:

हे अर्जुन! बिना श्रद्धा के किया हुआ हवन, दिया हुआ दान एवं तपा हुआ तप और जो कुछ भी किया हुआ शुभ कर्म है- वह समस्त ‘असत्‌’- इस प्रकार कहा जाता है, इसलिए वह न तो इस लोक में लाभदायक है और न मरने के बाद ही ॥28॥

Translation

O son of Pritha, whatever acts of sacrifice or penance are done without faith, are termed as “Asat.” They are useless both in this world and the next.

English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya’s Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda
