Paliwanag
Sacrifice is tamasic when it ignores proper rule, does not share food with others, omits sacred chants (mantras), gives no fee to the officiants, and lacks faith. Such a ritual is careless and empty. Each missing element marks a failure of care, generosity or reverence. The verse shows that tamas expresses itself not only through harmful acts but also through neglect, going through religious motions without attention or heart.
