Ch 13Verse 6
Adhyāya 13 Shloka 6

महाभूतान्यहङ्कारो बुद्धिरव्यक्तमेव च | इन्द्रियाणि दशैकं च पञ्च चेन्द्रियगोचराः || ६ ||

mahā-bhūtāny ahaṅkāro buddhir avyaktam eva ca | indriyāṇi daśaikaṁ ca pañca cendriya-gocarāḥ || 6 ||

"The five great elements, false ego, intelligence, the unmanifested, the ten senses and the mind, the five sense objects."

Historical Context

The Direct Meaning

Krishna explicitly defines the components of the 'kṣetra' (the field). He breaks down the material universe and the individual psychophysical entity into the 24 distinct elements of Sankhya philosophy, covering the gross elements, the subtle mind, intelligence, and the unmanifested state of material nature.
