"Knowledge, the object of knowledge and the knower are the 3 factors that motivate action; the senses, the work and the doer are 3 constituents of action."
(Chap 18 -verse 18)
 
"O mighty-armed Arjuna, according to Vedanta (Sankhya) there are 5 factors operating towards the accomplishment of all action. Now learn of these from Me."
(Chap 18 -verse 13)

"The place of action (body), the performer, the various senses, different endeavors and ultimately DAIVA (SuperSoul/Paramatma or destiny)."
(Chap 18 -verse 14)

"These 5 are the contributory causes of whatever actions - right or wrong, man performs with mind,speech and body."
(Chap 18 -verse 15)
Reminds me of Kaaya, Vacha, Manasa

"Therefore, one who thinks himself the only doer, not considering the 5 factors, is certainly not very intelligent and cannot see things as they are."
(Chap 18 -verse 16)

"One who is not motivated by false ego, whose intelligence is not entangled, though he kills men in this world, does not kill. Nor is he bound by his actions."
(Chap 18 -verse 17)
