Explicación
Sacrifice is rajasic when it is performed with an eye on the reward, or for the sake of show. Krishna addresses Arjuna as best of the Bharatas, as if reminding him to aim higher. The outward ritual may be the same as sattvic sacrifice, but the motive changes its quality. The verse recalls the earlier criticism of those who perform sacrifices for self-display, and it teaches that intention matters as much as correct form.
