Paliwanag
Sacrifice (yajña) is sattvic when it is performed according to proper rule by those who do not seek reward, with the mind fixed on the thought that it is simply right to do. This echoes the Gita's central teaching on action without attachment to results. The phrase it ought to be done captures the attitude of duty for its own sake. Sattvic sacrifice is not a bargain with the gods but an act of offering that needs no further justification.
