8.9.28

tatrāmṛtaṃ suragaṇāḥ phalamañjasāpur % yatpādapaṅkajarajaḥśrayaṇān na daityāḥ //

Among them, the hosts of gods easily attained the fruit, the nectar, / because they took refuge in the dust of his lotus feet; not so the Daityas.

8.9.28.p2

yadyujyate 'suvasukarmamanovacobhir $ dehātmajādiṣu nṛbhistadasat pṛthaktvāt &

Whatever human beings undertake with life-breath, wealth, deeds, mind, and speech / for the sake of the body, children, and so on, is unreal, because of separateness;

29. Whatever is done by men for the sake of their body, children and the like at the cost of their life, wealth, energy, mind

8.9.28.p3

yadyujyate 'suvasukarmamanovacobhir $ dehātmajādiṣu nṛbhistadasat pṛthaktvāt &

whatever human beings undertake with life-breath, wealth, deeds, mind, and speech / for the sake of the body, children, and so on, is unreal, because of separateness;

(thought) and words, (—all that) is futile, because it involves the idea of difference; but whatever is done employing the same means with resignation to the Lord becomes good and fruitful; since their is no separation of the Lord from anything. And this course is like unto watering the tree at the root.
