व्याख्याVyakhya
(शाकल्य ने कहा,) 'याज्ञवल्क्य, रूप ही जिसका आयतन है, नेत्र जिसका लोक है, मन जिसकी ज्योति है, उस पुरुष को जो सब आत्माओं का परम आश्रय जानता है, वही ज्ञाता है।' (याज्ञवल्क्य ने कहा,) 'तुम जिसे सब आत्माओं का परम आश्रय कहते हो, उस पुरुष को मैं जानता हूँ: यह जो आदित्य में पुरुष है, वही वह है। शाकल्य, बोलो, उसका देवता कौन है?' उसने कहा, 'सत्य (नेत्र)।'
