Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 18/Verse 14

अधिष्ठानं तथा कर्ता करणं च पृथग्विधम् ।


विविधाश्च पृथक्चेष्टा दैवं चैवात्र पञ्चमम् ॥१८- १४॥

adhiṣṭhānaṃ tathā kartā karaṇaṃ ca pṛthagvidham ।

vividhāśca pṛthakceṣṭā daivaṃ caivātra pañcamam ॥18- 14॥

Thus, the basis is the maker, the doer, the various things, and the various distinct activities. And indeed, here derived from the divine is the fifth.

kartā (masculine, nominative, singular) = maker

karaṇam (neuter, nominative, singular) = doer

ca (conjunction) (indeclinable) = and

vividhās (feminine, nominative, plural) = various 

ca (conjunction) (indeclinable) = and

pṛthak (adverb) (indeclinable) = distinct 

ceṣṭās (feminine, nominative, plural) = activities  

daivam (neuter, nominative, singular) = derived from the divine  

ca (conjunction) (indeclinable) = and
