"Now let Me illuminate you about Sanghat said Lord Krishna to Arjun. The group of 36 elements that
describe the process of the universe's creation, from the highest, most subtle reality down to the gross physical elements is called as Sanghat. Sanghat means group or assembly. I have explained to you these thirty six elements detail. They are together called as the Kshetra. The wheel, yoke etc are distinct and essential parts of a chariot, yet taken together as a group they are given the name a chariot. A group of organs together is given the name a body. An assembly of elephants, horses is called an army or a group of letters is called as a sentence. A group of rain clouds are given the name overcast sky. People and their communities are given the name universe. A lamp can be described as a group of oil, wick and fire. Similarly when these thirty six elements come together it is called as a Kshetra. Being the field for actions (karma), the "crops" of paap (sinful actions) and punya (pious actions) are the consequences (fruits) of the karmas performed. For this reason also this field is called as Kshetra. Some call it as Deha, the names can be many. Excluding Parabrahma, the entire realm of perishable material existence, including all animate and inanimate objects is called as the Kshetra.
An individual's actions (karma) and inherent qualities (Gunas) interact to shape their future existence, guiding them through the diverse spectrum of lives and realms such as realm of man (Human), Realm of Gods (Devas), Realm of Nagas (Serpentine Beings). The explanation about the three Gunas will come later. But first let Me first illuminate you about Dnyan KNOWLEDGE."
