Srimad Bhagavad-Gita :

Chapter-13.

Slokam- 8 to 12*. ( Introduction )- Pat-2.


The state  "Kshetrajnan"   imposed on "Atma" is due to its relationship with "Ksetram" only. This is already explained in detail, in previous slokam-s. Hereafter one should know about "Atma". Lord Krishna narrates : the 20 Sadhanas ( Jnana-sadhana-s ) to attain the Jnanam about "Atma". These makes a person fit for "Atmasakskatkaram". A must for all who wants to know "Atma". Slokam-8 to 12, count them one by one for us :
