This is (thus) briefly described\u2014this aggregate, this basis for the soul.'[2. Cp: Bh: G\u012b:<\/em> VII-4<\/a>]<\/span><\/p>\n The great elements, Aha\u1e47k\u0101ra, Buddhi and Avyakta, are the germinal materials of Kshetra.<\/span><\/p>\n The great elements are (i) the Earth, (2) Water (3) Fire (4) Air, and (5) Space. Aha\u1e47k\u0101ra<\/em> is the root of the elements. Buddhi<\/em> is Mah\u0101n<\/em> (or Mahat-tatva). Avyakta<\/em> is Prak\u1e5biti<\/em> or primordial matter-stuff of which all the foregoing are differentiations or mutations, (or several terms in an evolving series).<\/span><\/p>\n The Senses Ten and One, and the Five Sensibles,<\/em> are the (material) principles which depend on Kshetra<\/em>. The Five Senses<\/em> of perception (or knowledge) are the auditory, tactual, visual, gustatory and olfactory, senses. The Five Senses<\/em> (=organs) of action, are the vocal, the prehensile<\/a>, the locomotive, the excretory and the generative organs; thus Ten<\/em>. The One<\/em> is the manas (=mind). The Sensibles<\/em> are the five objects of the senses, viz:<\/em> sound, touch, color (or form) taste and smell.<\/span><\/p>\n Longing, Aversion, Joy and Affliction:<\/em> These are said to be the products, or the modifications of Kshetra<\/em>.[3. Cp: Bh: G\u012b:<\/em> XIII-19<\/a>.] They are so said to be on account of their resulting from Kshetra<\/em> by the union with it of soul, albeit, properly speaking, those are affections which pertain to soul as its<\/em> characteristics (in its mundane state).<\/span><\/p>\n That Longing etc., are moods or affections of the (incorporeal) soul is shown further on as: \u2018Purusha is said to be the cause for being the experiences of joy and grief.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n Sangh\u0101ta\u015b-chetan\u0101dh\u1e5biti\u1e25,:\u2014 \u0101dh\u1e5bti\u1e25=adh\u0101ra\u1e25= the basis=the medium or vehicle or fundamental materials. Sangh\u0101ta\u1e25<\/em>=the aggregate or the collocated ingredients (=body) to work with, for the intelligent principle, the soul, either by its aid to experience joy, grief etc., or by its aid to procure material happiness (on Earth, and elsewhere as in Svarga etc.)or to procure liberation (apavarga<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n Thus Kshetra<\/em> or the aggregate fashioned out of the root-matter (=prak\u1e5biti<\/em>) down to earth-stuff, is the foundation for the senses; is the compound, giving birth to changes of temperament such as longings, aversions, joys and griefs; and the instrument for soul to experience pleasure, pain etc., with.<\/span><\/p>\n This Kshetra<\/em> has thus now briefly \u2014with its variations and its moods (or affections)\u2014 been explained.<\/span><\/p>\n Now the virtues or powers as will enable one to obtain soul-knowledge, \u2014(that the evolutes mentioned aforesaid) of Kshetra<\/em>, can aid him to develope are now enumerated:<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 13 verse 7<\/a><\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/githa.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Chapter 13 << Chapter 13 verse 5 SlOkam \u2013 Original ichchA dhvEsha: sukham dhu:kham sanghAthaS chEthanA dhruthi: | Ethath kshEthram samAsEna savikAram udhAhrutham || word-by-word meaning ichchA – desire dhvEsha: – hatred sukham – joy dhu:kham – sorrow chEthanA dhruthi: sangAtha: – the collection of … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-13","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5326"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5326\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15439,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5326\/revisions\/15439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
