[ “And it is said that the condition inherent in yagya, penance, and charity, as well as the endeavour to attain to God, is also real.” ]

Only action that is entered upon for the attainment of God is real; and yagya, alms-giving, and atonement are but complements to this undertaking. Finally, Krishn affirms decisively that faith is an essential requisite of all these undertakings.
