‘That Law-sanctioned Sacrifice (yajña) is Sātvika, which is done regardless of fruit, with such resolve of mind as: ‘(this) ought to be done.’
Regardless of fruit = expecting not any reward for Sacrificial works &c., performed.
Vidhi-dṛishtaḥ = Śāstra-dṛishtaḥ = Law-sanctioned.
Yashtavyam = ‘Ought to be done’ as a duty, as in itself an end, since it is worship rendered to Bhagavan; —to be done completely in its three-fold features of Mantra, money and labour. Where a resolve like this is made in the mind, and a Yajña is performed, that Yajña is of Satva-character.
