श्रीभगवानुवाच | इदं शरीरं कौन्तेय क्षेत्रमित्यभिधीयते | एतद्यो वेत्ति तं प्राहुः क्षेत्रज्ञ इति तद्विदः
śrībhagavānuvāca . idaṃ śarīraṃ kaunteya kṣetramityabhidhīyate . etadyo vetti taṃ prāhuḥ kṣetrajña iti tadvidaḥ
至尊主说：昆提之子啊，此身被称为“场域”（kṣetra）。那些深谙此道者，称知晓此“场域”者为“场域知晓者”（kṣetrajña）。
The Blessed Lord said O son of Kunti, this body is referred to as the 'field'. Those who are versed in this call him who is conscious of it as the 'knower of the field'.
“场域”（kṣetra）字面意为田地。身体被称为场域，是因为如同在田地里收获庄稼一样，我们在此身中收获行为所带来的苦乐果报。它不仅指物质身体，还包括心智体和因果体，共同构成了完整的场域。而“场域知晓者”（kṣetrajña）则是通过智慧，将自己与场域区分开来，知晓并见证场域的存在者，即圣哲们所称的“知者”。
Kshetra literally means field. The body is so called because the fruits (harvest) of actions in the form of pleasure and pain are reaped in it as in a field. The physical? the mental and the causal bodies go to constitute the totality of the field. It is not the physical body alone that forms the field.He who knows the field and he who beholds it as distinct from himself through knowledge is the knower of the field or matter.Those who know them The sages.
