Shloka 136
इन्द्रियाणि मनो बुद्धि: सत्त्वं तेजो बल॑ धृति: । वासुदेवात्मकान्याहु: क्षेत्र क्षेत्र् एव च
indriyāṇi mano buddhiḥ sattvaṃ tejo balaṃ dhṛtiḥ | vāsudevātmakāny āhuḥ kṣetra-kṣetrajña eva ca ||
毗湿摩说道：诸根、心、慧、萨埵之清净、光辉、力量与坚忍；同样，身为“田”（刹帝罗，kṣetra）与知田者（刹帝罗阇那，kṣetrajña，即自我）——吠陀宣说：这一切皆是婆苏提婆之自性。

Educational Q&A
All components of embodied experience—senses, mind, intellect, inner qualities, strength, and even the body (kṣetra) and the self (kṣetrajña)—are affirmed as manifestations of Vāsudeva. Ethically, this supports disciplined living: mastery of faculties, purity of intention, and devotion grounded in the recognition of the divine pervading all.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma continues instructing Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma. Here he presents a theological-ethical vision: the Veda proclaims Vāsudeva as the essence behind both the instruments of action/knowledge and the very framework of embodiment and selfhood.
