Explication

Krishna widens the discussion beyond worship. Food, which everyone likes in some form, is also threefold, and so are sacrifice (yajña), austerity (tapas) and giving (dāna). He announces that he will describe the differences among them. The inclusion of food alongside sacred practices is notable. It suggests that the qualities shape even the most ordinary choices, and that daily habits reveal and reinforce a person's nature just as worship does.
