अधिभूतं ततो रूपं सूर्यस्तत्राधिदेवतम् । तीसरे भूतका नाम है तेज। नेत्र उसका अध्यात्म, रूप उसका अधिभूत और सूर्य उसका अधिदैवत कहा जाता है
adhibhūtaṃ tato rūpaṃ sūryas tatrādhidaivatam |
Vāyu-deva dit : «Ensuite, quant à l’‘adhibhūta’ (l’aspect élémentaire, extérieur), c’est la forme (rūpa) ; et quant à l’‘adhidaivata’ (le principe divin présidant) en ce domaine, c’est le Soleil. Ainsi, pour le troisième élément—tejas (radiance/feu)—l’œil est enseigné comme son ‘adhyātma’ (fondement intérieur), la forme comme son ‘adhibhūta’ (champ objectif), et le Soleil comme son ‘adhidaivata’ (régulateur divin).»

Educational Q&A
It maps experience across three levels: the inner basis (adhyātma: the eye), the objective field (adhibhūta: form), and the presiding divine regulator (adhidaivata: the Sun) for the element tejas, showing how perception is ethically and metaphysically ordered rather than random.
Vāyu-deva is instructing by enumerating correspondences between elements, sense-faculties, their objects, and their presiding deities—here identifying form as the object-side and the Sun as the divine presider in relation to sight and tejas.
