अश्रद्धया हुतं दत्तं तपस्तप्तं कृतं च यत्।
असदित्युच्यते पार्थ न च तत्प्रेत्य नो इह।।17.28।।



English Translation - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
17.28. Without faith, whatever oblation is offered, what-ever gift is made, whatever austerity is practised, and whatever action is undertaken, that is called ASAT and it is of no avail after ones death and in this world.


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
17.28  Asradhaya  etc.  ASAT  :  not praiseworthy (or inauspicious).  Therefore  Happiness just easily arises for those who exert in the prasieworthy (or auspicious) act.
