अधिष्ठानं तथा कर्ता करणं च पृथग्विधम् । विविधाश्च पृथक्चेष्टा दैवं चैवात्र पञ्चमम् ॥ १४ ॥
adhiṣhṭhānaṁ tathā kartā karaṇaṁ cha pṛithag-vidham vividhāśh cha pṛithak cheṣhṭā daivaṁ chaivātra pañchamam
Translation
The body, the doer, the various instruments, the many kinds of effort, and the divine as the fifth.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
अधिष्ठान (शरीर), कर्ता, भिन्न-भिन्न करण (इंद्रियाँ), नाना प्रकार की चेष्टाएँ, और पाँचवाँ दैव (ईश्वर की व्यवस्था/प्रारब्ध)।
Commentary
The five factors are the body (adhishthana, the seat), the doer (the embodied self with its ego), the instruments (senses and mind), the various efforts, and daiva, the divine or unseen factor. Daiva is read as God's will, as destiny from past karma, or as the presiding deities of the senses. Whichever reading, no outcome depends on us alone.
