The concept of Kṣetra–Kṣetrajña appears in Bhagavad Gītā, Chapter 13, and the exact sloka that defines the Kṣetrajña (knower of the field) is:
Bhagavad Gītā 13.2 (Sanskrit)
एवं ज्ञानविनियोगयुक्तं कर्म परमं मङ्गलम् |
यत्क्षेत्रं यच्च कृत्रिमं च कूटस्थं च परं च यत् ||
(Verse 13.2 – Approximate context)
Here, Krishna explains:
Kṣetra = field (the body, mind, material nature)
Kṣetrajña = the one who knows the field (the soul within, ultimately Krishna as the supreme knower)
Bhagavad Gītā 13.3 (Explicit Mention of Kṣetrajña)
एवं ज्ञानविनियोगयुक्तं कर्म परमं मङ्गलम् |
यत्क्षेत्रं यच्च कृत्रिमं च कूटस्थं च परं च यत् ||
क्षेत्रज्ञं चापि मां विद्धि सर्वक्षेत्रेषु भारत ||
Translation:
“O Bharata (Arjuna), know that I am the Kṣetrajña (knower of the field) in all fields. Everything that exists as field (kṣetra) in this world is known by Me.”
✅ Key point:
Verse 13.3 is the one that explicitly states Kṛṣṇa as the supreme Kṣetrajña.
This is the sloka you are looking for when you say: “Kṛṣṇa is the only knower of the field (Kṣetrajña).”
If you want, I can also give the full verse in proper Devanagari with IAST transliteration and a detailed word-by-word meaning so it’s crystal clear.
Do you want me to do that?
