यज्ञदानतप:कर्म न त्याज्यं कार्यमेव तत् |
यज्ञो दानं तपश्चैव पावनानि मनीषिणाम् || 5||

हिंदी अनुवाद

यज्ञ, दान, तथा तपस्या का कभी परित्याग नहीं करना चाहिए। इन्हें निश्चित रूप से सम्पन्न करना चाहिए। यज्ञ, दान तथा तपस्या महात्माओं को भी शुद्ध करते हैं।

English Translation

Actions based upon sacrifice, charity, and penance should never be abandoned; they must certainly be performed. Indeed, acts of sacrifice, charity, and penance are purifying even for those who are wise.
