इस क्षेत्र-क्षेत्रज्ञ तत्त्व को ऋषियों ने अनेक प्रकार से गाया है, विविध वैदिक छन्दों में अलग-अलग कहा है, और ब्रह्मसूत्र के युक्तिपूर्ण निश्चित पदों द्वारा भी प्रतिपादित किया है।
English Translation
This knowledge of the field and its knower has been sung by sages in many ways, in various Vedic hymns distinctly, and also through the well-reasoned and conclusive aphorisms of the Brahma Sutras.
Commentary (टीका)
Krishna validates this teaching by citing its scriptural authority. The Rishis have described this truth through Vedic hymns and the Brahma Sutras, which present logical arguments for the nature of Brahman. This shows that the Gita's teaching is not new but is rooted in the ancient Vedic tradition.
