"He who knows that person whose dwelling is space, whose world is hearing, whose light is the mind, the final resort of every self — he is truly a knower, Yājñavalkya!" — "I know that person of whom you speak: he is the person of hearing and its echo. Speak on, Śākalya: who is his deity?" And he named his deity.

The fourth target is the person of hearing, who lives by space and echo (prātiśrutka — the same "echo" as in the madhu-vidyā, 2.5.6). Śākalya again hits a covering — and Yājñavalkya again carries it through to the Master of the covering.
The shape of the round does not change: Śākalya presents a person by his dwelling — Yājñavalkya identifies him instantly and carries the question higher: "who is his deity?" Every partial person of the world has its own summit, and a knower differs from a memoriser in knowing not only the tenants but the ladder of their subordination — up to the very roof, where the One is.
