अर्थMeaning
Sâkalya said: 'Which is thy deity in the Northern quarter?' Yâgñavalkya said: 'Soma.' Sâkalya said: 'In what does that Soma abide?' Yâgñavalkya said: 'In the Dîkshâ .' Sâkalya said: 'In what does the Dîkshâ abide?' Yâgñavalkya said: 'In the True; and therefore they say to one who has performed the Dîkshâ, Speak what is true, for in the True indeed the Dîkshâ abides.' Sâkalya said: 'And in what does the True abide?' Yâgñavalkya said: 'In the heart, for with the heart do we know what is true, and in the heart indeed the True abides.' Sâkalya said: 'So it is indeed, O Yâgñavalkya.'

व्याख्याVyakhya
'इस उत्तर दिशा में तुम किस देवता वाले हो?' 'सोम देवता वाला।' 'वह सोम किसमें प्रतिष्ठित है?' 'दीक्षा में।' 'दीक्षा किसमें प्रतिष्ठित है?' 'सत्य में; इसीलिए दीक्षित से कहते हैं कि 'सत्य बोलो', क्योंकि दीक्षा सत्य में ही प्रतिष्ठित है।' 'सत्य किसमें प्रतिष्ठित है?' उसने कहा, 'हृदय में, क्योंकि हृदय से ही मनुष्य सत्य को जानता है; सत्य हृदय में ही प्रतिष्ठित है।' (शाकल्य ने कहा,) 'याज्ञवल्क्य, यह ऐसा ही है।'
