13.6 The field, itemised Krishna speaks
महाभूतान्यहङ्कारो बुद्धिरव्यक्तमेव च
इन्द्रियाणि दशैकं च पञ्च चेन्द्रियगोचराः
mahā-bhūtāny ahankāro buddhir avyaktam eva cha

The great elements, the sense of self, the understanding, the unmanifest, the ten senses and the one, and the five fields of the senses;
Explanation
The field, itemised — and the list is longer than a body.
- the great elements, the unmanifest
- the sense of self, the understanding
- the ten senses, and the one — the mind
- the five fields of the senses
Mind and intellect are inside the field, as they were in 7.4. What knows the field is not any of your faculties.
