श्रीभगवान् उवाच
इदं शरीरं कौन्तेय क्षेत्रम् इत्य् अभिधीयते ॥
एतद् यो वेत्ति तं प्राहुः क्षेत्रज्ञ इति तद्विदः ॥
क्षेत्रज्ञं चापि मां विद्धि सर्वक्षेत्रेषु भारत ॥
क्षेत्रक्षेत्रज्ञयोर् ज्ञानं यत् तज् ज्ञानं मतं मम ॥
तत् क्षेत्रं यच् च यादृक् च यद्विकारि यतश् च यत् ॥
स च यो यत्प्रभावश् च तत् समासेन मे शृणु ॥
ऋषिभिर् बहुधा गीतं छन्दोभिर् विविधैः पृथक् ॥
ब्रह्मसूत्रपदैश् चैव हेतुमद्भिर् विनिश्चितैः ॥

Shri Bhagavan said: "O son of Kunti, this body is called the field; one who knows this field is called, by those who know the truth, the knower of the field. Know Me also as the knower of the field in all fields, O Bharata. The knowledge of the field and the knower of the field — this alone, in My opinion, is knowledge. What the field is, of what nature it is, how it changes, from what it arises, who is the knower of the field and what his power is — hear this from Me in brief. It has been sung in many ways by the rishis, set forth separately in various Vedic hymns, and in well-reasoned, firmly established words about Brahman."

Krishna begins by distinguishing the body as the field of experience from the knower of the field as the conscious principle. But He immediately widens the scope: present in every body is not only the individual witness but the Lord Himself as the supreme knower.
