Chapter 13
Kshetra-kshetraaajnyavibhaga Yoga
The action creates something special, therefore, it is known as distinctive modification. The resultant object does not cause any modification or destruction of the original, therefore, with their association the will and the other modifications become the respective presiding deities. Since all these are seen by the Lord with flawless eye, and is known to energize them, Hari is known as the क्षेत्रज्ञ, the knower of the field.
Even though the scripture says this self is the body, suggesting consciousness to the body, since it has also been said in idam shariram kaunteya, the body does not become the field, thus in Shabda Nirnaya Text. “satva is sometimes spoken as Jiva and sometimes Janardan is referred to as satva. satva as the attribute of nobility is also referred in other cases, thus in Paingi Scripture – “One relishes the fruit of the Pepul tree, therefore be is referred to as satva”. Being manifested as one born, the Jiva is also said to have been born in the body.
In creation Jiva sees destruction etc. associated with misery. “As the form of misery, the Jiva perceives his self and devoid of miseries he experiences the Lord dwelling in all Jivaas with attributes similar in all creatures, not being lower even when in the lower. He who perceives Sri Vishnu in this manner, to him, verily, there arises no delusion”, thus in Padma Purana.
