Nāga-āyatana-darśana-pratīkṣā — The Brāhmaṇa’s Request and Waiting on the Gomatī
तेन मे कथित: कृत्स्नो धर्म: क्षेत्रज्ञसंज्ञित: । प्रादुर्भावाश्ष कथिता भविष्या इह ये यथा
tena me kathitaḥ kṛtsno dharmaḥ kṣetrajña-saṃjñitaḥ | prādurbhāvāś ca kathitā bhaviṣyā iha ye yathā ||
那罗陀说道：“由祂向我详尽开示了全部的法（Dharma）——即关于‘田知者’（kṣetrajña，知田者）的教诲。祂也讲述了未来将在此世出现的诸般示现，以及它们将以何种方式发生。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights a complete instruction in Dharma framed as knowledge of the kṣetrajña—the inner knower or conscious witness—implying that ethical life is grounded in understanding the self beyond the changing ‘field’ (body, mind, and experience).
Nārada reports that a revered teacher previously instructed him fully: explaining Dharma, clarifying the doctrine of the kṣetrajña, and also foretelling future manifestations (prādurbhāvas) and how they will unfold in the world.
