Chapter 1 3 of 18 chapters Chapter 18
  1. 4.13

    चातुर्वर्ण्यं मया सृष्टं गुणकर्मविभागशः

    karma — and activities

    The four orders were brought forth by me, divided according to quality and work. Know me as their maker — and know also that I am not bound by it.

  2. 14.19

    नान्यं गुणेभ्यः कर्तारं यदा द्रष्टानुपश्यति

    kartāram — agents of action

    When one who sees perceives no doer other than the strands, and knows what is beyond them, that one reaches my own state.

  3. 18.16

    तत्रैवं सति कर्तारमात्मानं केवलं तु यः

    kartāram — the doer

    So one who, in spite of this, sees the self alone as the doer, with an unformed understanding, does not see rightly.
