महाभारतः mahābhārataḥ - book-12, chapter-292, verse-44

श्रोत्रादीनि तु सर्वाणि पञ्च कर्मेन्द्रियाणि च ।
वागादीनि प्रवर्तन्ते गुणेष्वेव गुणैः सह ।
अहमेतानि वै कुर्वन्ममैतानीन्द्रियाणि च ॥४४॥

44. śrotrādīni tu sarvāṇi pañca karmendriyāṇi ca ,
vāgādīni pravartante guṇeṣveva guṇaiḥ saha ,
ahametāni vai kurvanmamaitānīndriyāṇi ca.

44. śrotrādīni tu sarvāṇi pañca
karmendriyāṇi ca vāgādīni pravartante
guṇeṣu eva guṇaiḥ saha aham etāni
vai kurvan mama etāni indriyāṇi ca

44. tu śrotrādīni ca pañca karmendriyāṇi
vāgādīni sarvāṇi guṇeṣu eva
guṇaiḥ saha pravartante aham vai
etāni kurvan mama etāni indriyāṇi ca

44. Indeed, all five sensory organs (jñānendriya) like the ears, and the organs of action (karmendriya) like speech, operate solely amidst the qualities of nature (guṇa) and together with them. (Still, the ego-bound self mistakenly thinks:) 'I am indeed performing these, and these organs (indriya) are mine.'
