The soul makes Nature, which contains the principles of production or growth, assume various forms. Nature is called Kshetra (or soil). Above the twenty-four topics or principles is the Sour which is Great. It presides over that Nature or Kshetra.
बहुधाऽऽत्मा प्रकुर्वीत प्रकृति प्रसवात्मिकाम्। तच्च क्षेत्रं महानात्मा पञ्चविंशोऽधितिष्ठति।॥
