Context:

तत्सदिति निर्देशो ब्रह्मणस्त्रिविधः स्मृतः।
ब्राह्मणास्तेन वेदाश्च यज्ञाश्च विहिताः पुरा।।17.23।।

23. "Om-Tat-Sat"-- this has been declared to be the triple designation of Brahman. By that were made of old the Brāhmanas, the Vedas, and the Yajñas.

तस्मादोमित्युदाहृत्य यज्ञदानतपःक्रियाः।
प्रवर्तन्ते विधानोक्ताः सततं ब्रह्मवादिनाम्।।17.24।।

24. Therefore, uttering "Om", are the acts of sacrifice, gift, and austerity as enjoined in the ordinances, always begun by the followers of the Vedas.

तदित्यनभिसन्धाय फलं यज्ञतपःक्रियाः।
दानक्रियाश्च विविधाः क्रियन्ते मोक्षकाङ्क्षिभि:।।17.25।।

25. Uttering "Tat", without aiming at fruits, are the various acts of Tajña, austerity, and gift performed by the seekers of Moksha.

सद्भावे साधुभावे च सदित्येतत्प्रयुज्यते।
प्रशस्ते कर्मणि तथा सच्छब्दः पार्थ युज्यते।।17.26।।

26. The word "Sat" is used in the sense of reality and of goodness; and so also, O Pārtha, the word "Sat" is used in the sense of an auspicious act.

यज्ञे तपसि दाने च स्थितिः सदिति चोच्यते।
कर्म चैव तदर्थीयं सदित्येवाभिधीयते।।17.27।।

27. Steadiness in Yajña, austerity, and gift is also called "Sat", as also action in connection with these is called "Sat.
