Original Sanskrit · श्रीभगवान्

क्षेत्रक्षेत्रज्ञयोरेवम् अन्तरं ज्ञानचक्षुषा
भूतप्रकृतिमोक्षं च ये विदुर्यान्ति ते परम्
॥ 13.34 ॥

kṣetrakṣetrajñayorevam antaraṃ jñānacakṣuṣā
bhūtaprakṛtimokṣaṃ ca ye viduryānti te param

Translation

"Those who know in this way, with the eye of knowledge, the difference between the field and the knower of the field, and liberation from the prakriti of beings (and the means to it) — they reach the Supreme."

Interpretation

Shankaracharya. jñānacakṣuṣā śāstrācāryaprasādopadeśajanitam ātmapratyayikaṃ jñānaṃ cakṣuḥ — the eye of knowledge, which is the experience of the Self, born of the grace-filled teaching of scripture and teacher; bhūtānāṃ prakṛtiḥ avidyālakṣaṇā avyaktākhyā, tasyāḥ … mokṣaṇam.

Acharya Ramanuja. vivekaviṣayajñānākhyena cakṣuṣā — with the eye that is the knowledge of discernment; mokṣyate anena iti mokṣaḥ, amānitvādikam — that by which freedom comes is "moksha" — that is, humility and the rest (the marks of 13.7) are themselves the means of liberation; te paraṃ yānti nirmuktabandhanam ātmānaṃ prāpnuvanti.
