Swami Adidevananda (English)
Actions are being performed in every way by the Gunas of Prakrti; he whose nature is deluded by egoism, however, thinks, ‘I am the doer.’
Swami Gambirananda (English)
While actions are being done in every way by the gunas (qualities) of Nature, one who is deluded by egoism thinks, “I am the doer.”
Swami Sivananda (English)
All actions are wrought in all cases by the qualities of Nature alone. He whose mind is deluded by egoism thinks, “I am the doer.”
Dr. S. Sankaranarayan (English)
The actions are performed part by part by the strands of Prakriti; yet, the person, having his self (mind) deluded with egoity, imagines, ‘I am the sole doer.’
Shri Purohit Swami (English)
Action is the product of the qualities inherent in nature. It is only the ignorant man who, misled by personal egotism, says, “I am the doer.”
