In the second brahmana of the fourth adhyaya, Yajnavalkya explains to Janaka the answer to the question : where will you go when your are freed from this body? Janaka, not knowing the answer to this question, realizing the deep knowledge Yajnavalkya had, chose him as his Acharya and earnestly requests him to explain. Yajnavalkya speaks about the Purusha (being) who resides in the right eye and is named Indha, who is none other than Indra.<ref name=":5">Dr. N. S.

<blockquote> इन्धो ह वै नामैष योऽयं दक्षिणेऽक्षन् पुरुषः । (Brhd. Upan. 4.2.2)</blockquote><blockquote> अथैतद्वामेऽक्षणि पुरुषरूपमेषास्य पत्नी विराट् । (Brhd. Upan. 4.2.3)</blockquote>

<blockquote> इन्धो ह वै नामैष योऽयं दक्षिणेऽक्षन् पुरुषः । (Brhd. Upan. 4.2.2)</blockquote><blockquote> अथैतद्वामेऽक्षणि पुरुषरूपमेषास्य पत्नी विराट् । (Brhd. Upan. 4.2.3)</blockquote>

The human form (पुरुषरूपम्) that is in the left eye is his wife Virat (विराट्)। The abode, food, location in the heart of this Purusa and his wife are elaborated. It is through "Hita" the net like veins in the heart that the wandering (those passing through cycles of birth and death) roam about. This Indha (Indra) is an exceptionally good food for that Atma (object of enjoyment to that individual who departs from this body through the sushumna nadi)

This Indha (Indra) is an exceptionally good food for that Atma (object of enjoyment to that individual who departs from this body through the sushumna nadi). Yajnavalkya further explains about the capability of senses to grasp things and the directions they work in, however, the nature of Indha, residing in the right eye is to be described as "not this much". Again based on the concept of Neti, Neti Indha is not completely comprehensible, neither is he decaying nor attached, neither does he get bound nor feel any pain. The idea is to meditate on the Purusha of such a description to attain fearlessness there by attaining Brahman.

Yajnavalkya is honoured in several traditions. Saint Kulasekhara claims him as a  great "Vaishnava Yogi".  His references to some of the Avataras of Vishnu (Varaha and Vamana for instance) in a new light in [[Shatapatha Brahmana]], wherein he declares Vishnu as God Supreme, do attest to this certificate.<ref>Dr. K.
