Our explanation Krishna says that whatever being comes into existence, moving or unmoving, comes from the union of the field and the knower of the field. He calls Arjuna Bharatarshabha, best of the Bharatas.

हिंदी अर्थ कृष्ण कहते हैं कि जो भी प्राणी उत्पन्न होता है, चर हो या अचर, वह क्षेत्र और क्षेत्रज्ञ के संयोग से होता है। वे अर्जुन को भरतर्षभ (भरतवंशियों में श्रेष्ठ) कहकर पुकारते हैं।
