सत्त्वं विशुद्धं श्रयते भवान् स्थितौ शरीरिणां श्रेयउपायनं वपु: । वेदक्रियायोगतप:समाधिभि- स्तवार्हणं येन जन: समीहते ॥ ३४ ॥
sattvaṁ viśuddhaṁ śrayate bhavān sthitau śarīriṇāṁ śreya-upāyanaṁ vapuḥ veda-kriyā-yoga-tapaḥ-samādhibhis tavārhaṇaṁ yena janaḥ samīhate
主啊，在维系之时，你依止至纯的萨特瓦而示现超越之身，成为众生得福的途径。人们以吠陀仪轨、瑜伽、苦行、忏悔，并最终以三摩地来敬拜你，因此你为吠陀法所礼赞。
As stated in Bhagavad-gītā (18.3) , yajña-dāna-tapaḥ-karma na tyājyam: the Vedic ritualistic ceremonies, charity, austerity and all such prescribed duties are never to be given up. Yajño dānaṁ tapaś caiva pāvanāni manīṣiṇām (18.5): even one who is very much advanced in spiritual realization must still execute the Vedic principles. Even in the lowest stage, the karmīs are advised to work for the sake of the Lord.
