వాయు పలికెను—తేజస్సు (ప్రకాశం) యొక్క గుణం ‘రూపం’; అది నేత్రచే గ్రహింపబడును. నేత్రంలో సదా స్థితుడైన ఆదిత్యుడు (సూర్యుడు) రూపజ్ఞానానికి దివ్య సహాయకుడిగా నియమింపబడెను.

Educational Q&A
Perception is not merely mechanical: form is known through the eye, yet the capacity to know form depends on light and on a divine ordering—symbolized by Āditya abiding in the eye—so cognition arises from the coordination of organ, quality (light), and presiding deity.
Vāyudeva explains the inner governance of the senses: he describes how sight functions, stating that visible form is apprehended through the eye and that the Sun-deity, present within the eye, is the appointed power enabling recognition of form.
