he arjun[1]! bina shraddha ke kiya hua havan, diya hua dan evan tapa hua tap aur jo kuchh bhi kiya hua shubh karm hai- vah samast 'asath'- is prakar kaha jata hai; isaliye vah n to is lok mean labhadayak hai aur n marane ke bad hi ॥28॥

But sacrifices, austerities and charities performed without faith in the Supreme are nonpermanent, O Arjuna, regardless of whatever rites are performed. They are called asat and are useless both in this life and the next.
