▸Bhagavadgītābhāṣyam· bhāṣya
तत् इति अनभिसन्धाय, ‘तत्’ इति ब्रह्माभिधानम् उच्चार्य अनभिसन्धाय च यज्ञादिकर्मणः फलं यज्ञतपःक्रियाः यज्ञक्रियाश्च तपःक्रियाश्च यज्ञतपःक्रियाः दानक्रियाश्च विविधाः क्षेत्रहिरण्यप्रदानादिलक्षणाः क्रियन्ते निर्वर्त्यन्ते मोक्षकाङ्क्षिभिः मोक्षार्थिभिः मुमुक्षुभिः ॥ २५ ॥
In plain words
'Tat' — that is, saying it without aiming at anything. You pronounce 'tat', which is a name for Brahman, and you do not set your sights on what the act will pay you. Then the acts of sacrifice and austerity — sacrificial acts, and acts of austerity: that is what the word yajñatapaḥkriyāḥ holds — and acts of giving of every kind, the handing over of land, of gold, of whatever else, are actually carried out and finished, by people who long for liberation, who are after liberation, who want to be free.
Close to the Sanskrit
'Tat' — thus, without aiming: having uttered 'tat', the designation of Brahman, and not aiming at the fruit of the act of sacrifice and the rest, the acts of sacrifice and austerity — that is, sacrificial acts and acts of austerity, hence 'yajñatapaḥkriyāḥ' — and acts of giving, of various kinds, characterized by the bestowal of land, gold and so forth, are performed, are carried through, by those who long for liberation, by those who seek liberation, by those who desire release.
