So endet im Mahābhārata, im Bhīṣma Parva, im Abschnitt namens Bhagavad Gītā, unter den upanishadischen Lehren, die Bhagavad Gītā genannt werden—im Bereich der Brahman-Erkenntnis und der Wissenschaft des Yoga—der Dialog zwischen Śrī Kṛṣṇa und Arjuna: das dreizehnte Kapitel mit dem Titel „Der Yoga der Unterscheidung von Feld und Kenner des Feldes“.

Educational Q&A
This is a concluding colophon that names the chapter’s central theme: discerning the difference between kṣetra (the field of embodied experience—body, mind, nature) and kṣetrajña (the knower—conscious awareness). It frames the teaching as brahmavidyā (liberating knowledge of ultimate reality) presented through yogaśāstra (a disciplined method).
The verse functions as a formal end-of-chapter marker within the Mahābhārata’s Bhīṣma Parva, identifying the text as part of the Bhagavad Gītā section and closing the unit of instruction delivered as a dialogue between Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna, specifically the chapter titled “Kṣetra–Kṣetrajña-Vibhāga Yoga.”
