Hindi Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Harikrishnadas Goenka

।।17.27।।जो यज्ञकर्ममें स्थिति है? जो तपमें स्थिति है और जो दानमें स्थिति है? वह भी सत् है ऐसा विद्वानोंद्वारा कहा जाता है। तथा उन यज्ञादिके लिये जो कर्म है अथवा जिसके तीन नामोंका प्रकरण चल रहा है? उस ईश्वरके लिये जो कर्म है? वह भी सत् है यही कहा जाता है। इस प्रकार किये हुए यज्ञ और तप आदि कर्म? यदि असात्त्विक और विगुण हों तो भी श्रद्धापूर्वक परमात्माके तीनों नामोंके प्रयोगसे सगुण और सात्त्विक बना लिये जाते हैं।

And eva, even; the karma, action; tad-arthiyam, meant for these-for sacrifice, charity and austerity, or for Him whose names are under discussion, i.e. for God; is eva, verily; abhidhiyate, called; sat iti, as sat (good). Thus, in this way, the acts of sacrifice, austerity, etc., even when they are devoid of sattva and goodness, become good and endued with sattva by he use of the three names of Brahman with faith. And as regards those (sacrifice etc.), since in all cases everything is performed with a predominance of faith, therefore-

English Translation By Swami Gambirananda
