In plain words
What god watches over you in the east? The sun, he says. And what holds the sun up? The eye. What holds the eye up? Forms — because it's the eye that lets you see them. And what holds the forms up? The heart — because it's the heart that actually knows a form as a form; that's where forms finally come to rest. Just so, Yajnavalkya, just so.

'What deity do you have in this eastern direction?' — 'The sun is my deity', he said. 'On what is that sun founded?' — 'On the eye.' 'On what, then, is the eye founded?' — 'On forms; for it is by the eye that one sees forms.' 'On what, then, are forms founded?' — 'On the heart', he said; 'for it is by the heart that one knows forms; it is in the heart indeed that forms come to be founded.' 'Just so it is, Yājñavalkya.'
