Krishna explicitly names the five variables of action: 1) adhiṣṭhānaṁ (the place/the physical body), 2) kartā (the doer/the individual soul conditioned by false ego), 3) karaṇaṁ pṛthag-vidham (the various instruments/the senses), 4) vividhāś ca pṛthak ceṣṭā (the various kinds of energetic endeavors or life airs), and 5) daivam (the Divine will or the Supersoul), which is the ultimate fifth factor.
