Śraddhā-Trayā-Vibhāga Yoga · Verse 27
अश्रद्धया हुतं दत्तं तपस्तप्तं कृतं च यत् | असदित्युच्यते पार्थ न च तत्प्रेत्य नो इह
aśraddhayā hutaṃ dattaṃ tapas taptaṃ kṛtaṃ ca yat | asad ity ucyate pārtha na ca tat pretya no iha
What is offered without faith, what is given, the austerity performed, and what is done, is called ‘Asat’, oh Pārtha; and that, neither here nor after death.
The asat — the non-real, non-true. Aśraddhayā — without faith. Hutam — offering to fire. Dattam — given. Tapas taptam — austerity performed. Kṛtam — any action.
Without śraddhā everything is asat. Result: na tat pretya — it yields no fruit after death. Na iha — nor here, in this life. It is action without value, like a burnt seed.
