Explication

The boasting reaches status and even religion. I am wealthy and well-born; who is my equal? I will perform sacrifices, give gifts and enjoy myself. Even worship and charity, which appeared among the divine qualities earlier in the chapter, become displays of self-importance. Krishna ends the monologue with his own judgement: such people are deluded by ignorance. The verse shows that the same outward act can belong to either endowment, depending on the motive behind it.
