ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं परिज्ञाता त्रिविधा कर्मचोदना ।

प्रोच्यते गुणसङ्ख्याने यथावच्छृणु तान्यपि ॥ १८-१९॥

nyaanam jnyeyam parijnyaataa trividhaa karmachodanaa ।
karanam karma karteti trividhah’ karmasangrahah’ ॥ 18-18 ॥

nyaanam karma cha kartaa cha tridhaiva gunabhedatah’ ।
prochyate gunasankhyaane yathaavachchhri’nu taanyapi ॥ 18-19 ॥
