Bhagavad Gita 18.19

ज्ञानं कर्म च कर्ता च त्रिधैव गुणभेदतः।प्रोच्यते गुणसंख्याने यथावच्छृणु तान्यपि॥

jñānaṃ karma ca kartā ca tridhaiva guṇabhedataḥ |procyate guṇasaṃkhyāne yathāvacchṛṇu tānyapi ||

Knowledge, action, and actor are declared in the science of the Gunas (Sankhya philosophy) to be of three kinds only, according to the distinction of the Gunas. Of these, hear duly.
