तत् क्षेत्रं यच्च यादृक् च यद् विकारि यतश्च यत्
स च यो यत् प्रभावश्च तत् समासेन मे शृणु
॥ 13.3 ॥
tat kṣetraṃ yacca yādṛk ca yad vikāri yataśca yat
sa ca yo yat prabhāvaśca tat samāsena me śṛṇu
Translation
"What that field is, what it is like, what modifications it has, what arises from what; and who he (the knower of the field) is, and what his powers are — hear all that from Me in brief."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya. yādṛk yādṛśaṃ svakīyaiḥ dharmaiḥ; ye prabhāvāḥ upādhikṛtāḥ śaktayaḥ — the powers of the knower of the field = the capacities that come from the limiting adjuncts.
Acharya Ramanuja. yādṛk ca yeṣām āśrayabhūtam — of what things it is the support; yataḥ ca yato hetoḥ idam utpannaṃ yasmai prayojanāya utpannam — from what cause and for what purpose it has arisen.
