अर्थMeaning
'Which is thy deity in the Eastern quarter?' Yâgñavalkya said: 'Âditya (the sun).' Sâkalya said: 'In what does that Âditya abide?' Yâgñavalkya said: 'In the eye.' Sâkalya said: 'In what does the eye abide?' Yâgñavalkya said: 'In the colours, for with the eye he sees the colours.' Sâkalya said: 'And in what then do the colours abide?' Yâgñavalkya said: 'In the heart , for we know colours by the heart, for colours abide in the heart .' Sâkalya said: 'So it is indeed, O Yâgñavalkya.'

व्याख्याVyakhya
'इस पूर्व दिशा में तुम किस देवता वाले हो?' 'आदित्य देवता वाला।' 'वह आदित्य किसमें प्रतिष्ठित है?' 'नेत्र में।' 'नेत्र किसमें प्रतिष्ठित है?' 'रूपों में, क्योंकि नेत्र से ही मनुष्य रूपों को देखता है।' 'रूप किसमें प्रतिष्ठित हैं?' उसने कहा, 'हृदय में, क्योंकि हृदय से ही मनुष्य रूपों को जानता है; रूप हृदय में ही प्रतिष्ठित हैं।' (शाकल्य ने कहा,) 'याज्ञवल्क्य, यह ऐसा ही है।'
