avidhi-pūrvakam — has been translated by Bhaktivedanta Swamy as “in a wrong way”.
But Sri Sankaracharya translates it as “not according to prescribed rules”, which according to the prevailing standards of those days, would have meant “not according to Vedic injunctions”
IMHO, using the phrase “wrong way” goes against the grain of the Gita.

Take a look at this:

Bhagavad-Gita: Chapter 9, Verse 23
