ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं परिज्ञाता त्रिविधा कर्मचोदना।करणं कर्म कर्तेति त्रिविधः कर्मसंग्रहः ॥

Knowledge, the knower and the thing to be known, are together the seed of this world. This is known as the Triputi or the traid. It is the conjunction of these three that impels a man to threefold action, viz., mental, verbal and physical. This triad is the driving force of all the activities of man. He rejoices at the sight of palatable sweetmeats and delicious fruits but is terrified at the sight of a cobra or tiger. The sight of pleasant or unpleasant objects affects him and he attempts either to possess the agreeable objects or to avoid the disagreeable ones.The Antahkarana (the inner instrument) consists of the mind, intellect, subconscious mind and egoism. The ear, the skin, the tongue, the nose and the eye are the five organs of knowledge. The individual soul, propelled by these five senses, is led into activity. He does actions with the help of the five organs of action, viz., speech, hands, feet, genitals and anus.Jnanam Any knowledge knowledge in general knowledge of worldly objects, etc.Jneyam The object to be known objects in general.Parijnata The knower, the experiencer or the enjoyer, putting on the nature of the limiting adjuncts, a creature of ignorance.This triad forms the threefold impulse to all action, to action in general
