of Rig Veda

kṣetra, field

“...it is the field or kṣetra which Indra wins for his shining comrades from the Dasyu and in which the Atri beheld the warrior Agni and the luminous cows, those of whom even the old became young again. This field, kṣetra, is only another image for the luminous home (kṣaya) to which the gods by the sacrifice lead the human soul.” (CWSA.– Vol. 15.– 1998, p. 194.)
