श्रीभगवानुवाच | इदं शरीरं कौन्तेय क्षेत्रमित्यभिधीयते | एतद्यो वेत्ति तं प्राहुः क्षेत्रज्ञ इति तद्विदः

薄伽梵說： 俱胝之子啊，此身被稱為「場」。那些通曉此理者，稱知曉此身者為「場之知者」。
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'.
「場」（Kshetra）字面意思是田地。身體之所以被稱為「場」，是因為它如同田地般，是收穫行為果報（樂與苦）之處。身體不僅指物質身，也包括心智身和因果身，共同構成「場」的整體。而「場之知者」（Kshetrajña）則是透過智慧，知曉並觀見此「場」與自身相異者，即是識者或靈魂。
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.
