The eye is pratiṣṭhā, "the support": by sight a man plants his foot, finds his road, tells his own from another's; blindness is the first thing that robs a step of its confidence. One who sees "stands firm" both in this world and in that — for the road beyond death too, as the fourth chapter showed, is a road of light discerned by the soul's "eye".
And again the title holds only within its limits: the eye supports the body, yet the eye itself, as the parable will say, may be absent for a year while a man lives on "like the blind". A support that needs a support of its own is not the final support; the final one will be named at the end of the quarrel.
