The action of sacrifice, charity and austerity should not be abandoned; it should be performed. Sacrifice, charity and austerity are purifiers of the wise.

Verdict: these three actions are na tyājyam — should not be abandoned. They are kāryam eva — duties, not options.

They are pāvanāni — purifiers, that clean karmic impurities. For manīṣiṇām — the sages, those who seek knowledge. These actions do not bind; they liberate when performed with the correct attitude.
