Adhyāya 353 — Kathā-prāmāṇya (Authority of Transmission) and the Brāhmaṇa’s Ascetic Resolve
सम्पूर्ण विश्व ही उनका मस्तक, भुजा, पैर, नेत्र और नासिका है। वे स्वच्छन्द विचरनेवाले एकमात्र पुरुषोत्तम सम्पूर्ण क्षेत्रोंमें सुखपूर्वक विचरण करते हैं ।।
kṣetrāṇi hi śarīrāṇi bījaṃ cāpi śubhāśubham | tāni vetti sa yogātmā tataḥ kṣetrajña ucyate ||
ビーシュマは言った。「諸々の身体は『田』（クシェートラ kṣetra）と呼ばれ、それを生じさせる『種』とは、善業と悪業の蓄えである。ヨーガの自己として、その田（具身のありさま）と、その因となる種（カルマ）とを真に知る者は、ゆえに『田を知る者』（クシェートラジュニャ kṣetrajña）と呼ばれる。」

Educational Q&A
The body is a ‘field’ shaped by the ‘seed’ of past auspicious and inauspicious actions; one who knows both the embodied condition and its karmic causes is called the kṣetrajña, the true knower.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs on dharma and higher knowledge; here he defines kṣetra (body) and kṣetrajña (knower) in a reflective, yoga-oriented teaching about moral causality and insight.
