“Svāmī! You speak again and again of Prakṛti and Puruṣa, do you not! What is Prakṛti? What is its svabhāva?” When Pārtha asked this, Kṛṣṇa taught him in a way that could be understood very easily. “Brother-in-law! Prakṛti has another name too: ‘kṣetra’. Whether one says Prakṛti or kṣetra, it is one and the same. Prakṛti means the world. In it there are two entities: one is inert, the other is Caitanya; that is, one is the draṣṭā, the other the dṛśya. That which knows is called the ‘aham’ entity, and that which is known the ‘idam’ entity. The modifications of the guṇas belong to Prakṛti. The sattva, rajas and tamas guṇas, which take the form of happiness, sorrow and moha, are ‘the guṇas of Prakṛti’. The properties of kartṛtva and bhoktṛtva belong only to Prakṛti.” Arjuna was about to ask Kṛṣṇa Paramātma, who had given this answer, something more. Paramātma noticed it and said, “Brother-in-law, what, are you trying to ask something more?” At once Arjuna, thinking his moment had come, prayed: “Kṛṣṇa! You have made clear the tattva of ‘Prakṛti’. Now tell me who the one called ‘Puruṣa’ is, and what his svabhāva is.”
