English Translation - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
3.27. The actions are performed part by part,  by the Strands of the Prakrti;  [yet] the person, having his self  (mind) deluded with egoity,  imagines I am [alone] the doer.


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
3.27 Prakreh  etc.  Indeed the actions are performed by the Strands,  Sattva etc.,  belonging to the Prakrti.  But the fool unnecessarily binds himself  by wrongly comprehending I am the doer.
