pañcha

महाभूतान्यहङ्कारो बुद्धिरव्यक्तमेव च

The great elements, the sense of self, the understanding, the unmanifest, the ten senses and the one, and the five fields of the senses;

पञ्चैतानि महाबाहो कारणानि निबोध मे

pañcha — five

Learn from me, mighty-armed one, the five causes of all action, as told in the reckoning that brings action to an end:

शरीरवाङ्मनोभिर्यत्कर्म प्रारभते नरः

pañcha — five

Whatever action a person undertakes with body, speech or mind, whether right or wrong, these five are its causes.
