Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 13, Verse 3

Kshetra Kshetrajna Vibhaga Yoga

तत्क्षेत्रं यच्च यादृक्च यद्विकारि यतश्च यत् । स च यो यत्प्रभावश्च तत्समासेन मे शृणु ॥ ३ ॥

tat kṣhetraṁ yach cha yādṛik cha yad-vikāri yataśh cha yat sa cha yo yat-prabhāvaśh cha tat samāsena me śhṛiṇu

Translation

Hear from Me in brief what that field is, what it is like, how it changes and from what it comes, and who its knower is and what his powers are.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

वह क्षेत्र क्या है, कैसा है, किन विकारों वाला है, किससे उत्पन्न हुआ है, तथा वह क्षेत्रज्ञ कौन है और उसका प्रभाव क्या है, यह संक्षेप में मुझसे सुनो।

Commentary

Krishna sets out the chapter's agenda like a teacher at the start of a lesson. Six questions are promised: what the field is, its nature, its changes, its origin, who the knower is, and the knower's powers. The chapter answers them roughly in that order.
