Knowledge, the knowable, and the knower form the threefold impulse for action; the organ, the action, and the agent form the threefold basis of action.

Swami Sivananda

Knowledge, the object of knowledge, and the knower—these are the threefold inducements to action. The comprehension of actions comes under three heads: the instruments, the object, and the subject.

Swami Gambirananda

Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).

Knowledge, the object of knowledge, and the knower are the threefold incitements to action. The instrument, the act, and the agent are the threefold constituents of action.

Swami Adidevananda

Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).

The instrument of knowledge, the object of knowledge, and the knowing subject—the prompting in action, consisting of these threefold elements—is the proper grasping of action with threefold elements, namely, the instrument, the object, and the agent.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).

Knowledge, the knower, and the object of knowledge are the three incentives to action; and the act, the actor, and the instrument are the threefold constituents.

Shri Purohit Swami

ज्ञान, ज्ञेय और परिज्ञाता -- इन तीनोंसे कर्मप्रेरणा होती है तथा करण, कर्म और कर्ता -- इन तीनोंसे कर्मसंग्रह होता है।

Swami Ramsukhdas

ज्ञान, ज्ञेय और परिज्ञाता ये त्रिविध कर्म प्रेरक हैं, और, करण, कर्म. कर्ता ये त्रिविध कर्म संग्रह हैं।
