Verse 18·18

The intelligence of the tamasic being

Verse

ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं परिज्ञाता त्रिविधा कर्मचोदना ।करणं कर्म कर्तेति त्रिविधः कर्मसंग्रहः ॥

jñānaṃ jñeyaṃ parijñātā trividhā karmacodanākaraṇaṃ karma karteti trividhaḥ karmasaṃgrahaḥ

Knowledge, the object of knowledge and the knower, these three things constitute the mental impulsion to work; there are again three things, the doer, the instrument and the work done, that hold the action together and make it possible.
