यज्ञ दान तपः कर्म न त्याज्यम् कार्यम् एव तत् ।
yajJa dAna tapaH karma na tyAjyam kAryam eva tat |
कर्म [karma] Actions of यज्ञ [yajJa] worship, दान [dAna] charity, तपः [tapaH] and discipline न त्याज्यम् [na tyAjyam] are not to be given up. तत् [tat] Such action कार्यम् एव [kAryam eva] must certainly be done.
A person who desires Moksha must not abandon worship, charity, discipline and other activities prescribed in the scriptures. Instead they must be performed daily, till the time a person departs from the body.
