Chapter 13
Kshetra-kshetraaajnyavibhaga Yoga
Therefore, एतद् यो वेत्ति- even though the Lord alone is known as क्षेत्रज्ञ, since Jiva has also some experience of the क्षेत्र, he is also sometimes referred to as क्षेत्रज्ञ. Otherwise referring Himself as क्षेत्रज्ञ – क्षेत्रज्ञ चापि मां विद्धि‟ immediately thereafter would have been useless. If it was otherwise, then having said that Jiva is क्षेत्रज्ञ earlier to say that He is the क्षेत्रज्ञ later would have been contradictory. Some, however, make distinction between क्षेत्र the field and ज्ञ - the knower. (But that is not proper) because of the emphasis that He, the Lord, should be known as the क्षेत्रज्ञ, established in all the क्षेत्रs. If one understands in that manner, then it would make that the Jiva also the क्षेत्रज्ञ - knower of the field. In that case, all will be known as क्षेत्रज्ञ without any distinction at all. Without any distinction all will be spoken as the क्षेत्र the field as well. But it is improper to consider both as क्षेत्रज्ञ. In that case, there would be nothing special calling Him as क्षेत्रज्ञ of all theक्षेत्रज्ञ Therefore He alone is the क्षेत्रज्ञ, thus has it been spoken.
