Bhagavad Gita 18.5
यज्ञदानतपःकर्म न त्याज्यं कार्यमेव तत्।यज्ञो दानं तपश्चैव पावनानि मनीषिणाम्॥
yajñadānatapaḥkarma na tyājyaṃ kāryameva tat |yajño dānaṃ tapaścaiva pāvanāni manīṣiṇām ||
Acts of sacrifice, gift, and austerity should not be abandoned, but should be performed; for sacrifice, gift, and austerity are the purifiers of the wise.
Acts of sacrifice, benevolence, and austerity should not be given up, but should be performed, for they purify the aspiring soul.
Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
