Mbh.6.37.1743	What that Kshetra is, and what it is like, and what changes it undergoes, and whence it comes, what is he viz, Kshetrajna, and what his powers are, hear from me in brief.
Mbh.6.37.1745	The great elements, egoism, intellect, the unmanifest viz, Prakriti, also the ten senses, the one manas, the five objects of sense, desire, aversion, pleasure, pain, body consciousness, courage, all this in brief hath been declared to be Kshetra in its modified form.

Mbh.12.307.19326	And because the principles beginning with Mahat are produced by Purusha as well, and because also Purusha and the Unmanifest are mutually dependant upon each other, therefore is Purusha also, the twenty-fifth, called Kshetra and hence Akshara or Indestructible
