Explication
Chapter thirteen opens with Arjuna naming six terms he wants to understand: nature (prakṛti) and person (puruṣa), the field (kṣetra) and the knower of the field (kṣetrajña), knowledge (jñāna) and what is to be known. This verse is absent from some manuscript traditions, which is why verse counts for the chapter differ, but where it appears it serves as a list of topics for what follows. The tone of the dialogue changes here. After the devotional height of the preceding chapters, Krishna turns to a more analytical account of body, mind and consciousness.
