Shankaracharya's commentary, trans. Alladi Mahadeva Sastry (1897)
[1]The food also which is dear to each is threefold, as also worship, austerity and gift. Do thou hear of this, their distinction.
BG 17.7
आहारस् त्व् अपि सर्वस्य त्रिविधो भवति प्रियः । यज्ञस् तपस् तथा दानं तेषां भेदम् इमं शृणु ॥
āhāras tv api sarvasya tri-vidho bhavati priyaḥ | yajñas tapas tathā dānaṃ teṣāṃ bhedam imaṃ śṛṇu ||
"Even food is threefold in its appeal to each person; so too yajña, tapas, and dāna. Hear their distinctions."
