This is the shortest chapter of BG but yet one of the most beautiful ones. In the 13th chapter, we have seen, that there is  a "Kshetra", a "Kshetragna" and then there is one superior soul who governs both. In 14th chapter - we have seen details on triguna. In this 15th chapter - we are going to see 3 different Purushas (Purushatreya).  BG: The Supreme Divine Personality said: "They speak of an eternal aśhvatth tree with its roots above and branches below. Its leaves are the Vedic hymns, and one who knows the secret of this tree is the know-er of the Vedas" ಊರ್ಧ್ವಮೂಲಮಧಃಶಾಖಮಶ್ವತ್ಥಂ ಪ್ರಾಹುರವ್ಯಯಂ ಛಂದಾಂಸಿ ಯಸ್ಯ ಪರ್ಣಾನಿ ಯಸ್ತಂ ವೇದ ಸ ವೇದವಿತ್ | 15-1 | This same context is seen in ...

  Bhagavadgeeta - Adhyaya 14 Chapter #:  14 Chapter Name:  Gunatraya Vibhaga Yoga (  ಗುಣತ್ರಯವಿಭಾಗಯೋಗಃ ) Total verses (slokas) in this chapter:  27 Adhyaya - 14, Gunatraya Vibhaga Yoga Chapter of Gita (here after referred as BG) -  DVG calls this chapter as : "Thrigunatantra Jagarooka Yoga". In the last chapter, we have seen, the entire universe is composed of basic 24 elements and the power (kshetragna) is also the one and only supreme who controls it. If so, then Arjuna wonders how there are so many different varieties of entities which differ again in their nature despite being formed by the very basic 24 elements. This chapter is Krishna's answer to that query of Arjuna. He gives pertinent details on the essential characteristics of each individually, their cause, the level of their potency, how they influence a living entity affected by them as well as the signs of one who has risen above them.
