Adhyāya 51: Kṛṣṇa’s Leave-Taking and Departure for Dvārakā (द्वारकागमनानुमति)
निर्मुक्त: सर्वपापेभ्य: सर्व सृजति निष्कलम् | क्षेत्रज्ञ इति तं विद्याद् यस्तं वेद स वेदवित्
nirmuktaḥ sarvapāpebhyaḥ sarvaṃ sṛjati niṣkalam | kṣetrajña iti taṃ vidyād yas taṃ veda sa vedavit ||
ວາຍຸກ່າວວ່າ: «ພົ້ນຈາກບາບທັງປວງ ລາວກໍສ້າງສັນທຸກສິ່ງ ແຕ່ຕົນເອງຍັງບໍ່ມີມົນທິນ ແລະບໍ່ມີຂໍ້ບົກພ່ອງ. ຈົ່ງຮູ້ວ່າລາວແມ່ນ ‘ຜູ້ຮູ້ແຫ່ງສະໜາມ’ (kṣetrajña); ຜູ້ໃດຮູ້ລາວຢ່າງແທ້ຈິງ ຜູ້ນັ້ນແມ່ນຜູ້ຮູ້ເວດະແທ້.»
वायुदेव उवाच
True spiritual knowledge is to recognize the kṣetrajña—the inner witness/knower—who remains pure and untouched while being the source through which the world of experience arises; knowing this principle is presented as the mark of real Vedic wisdom.
Vāyudeva is speaking in a didactic mode, defining a profound metaphysical principle: the untainted knower (kṣetrajña) who is free from sin and yet is associated with the origination of all things, and he declares that one who understands this is truly a ‘vedavit’.
