श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
जीवबीजं परं ब्रह्म सर्वत्र खमिव स्थितम् ।
तेन जीवोदरजगत्यपि जीवोऽस्त्यनेकधा ॥ १ ॥
śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca ,
jīvabījaṃ paraṃ brahma sarvatra khamiva sthitam ,
tena jīvodarajagatyapi jīvo'styanekadhā 1
1. śrīvasiṣṭhaḥ uvāca jīvabījam param brahma sarvatra kham
iva sthitam tena jīvodarajagati api jīvaḥ asti anekadhā
1. śrīvasiṣṭhaḥ uvāca.
param brahma jīvabījam sarvatra kham iva sthitam.
tena jīvodarajagati api jīvaḥ anekadhā asti.
1. Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: The supreme (brahman) is the seed of life, existing everywhere like space. Therefore, even within the world of living beings, life (jīva) exists in manifold forms.
चिद्धनैकघनात्मत्वाज्जीवान्तर्जीवजातयः ।
कदलीदलवत्सन्ति कीटा इव धरोदरे ॥ २ ॥
ciddhanaikaghanātmatvājjīvāntarjīvajātayaḥ ,
kadalīdalavatsanti kīṭā iva dharodare 2
2. citghanekaghanātmatvāt jīvāntarjīvajātayaḥ
kadālīdalavat santi kīṭāḥ iva dharodare
2. citghanekaghanātmatvāt jīvāntarjīvajātayaḥ
kadālīdalavat kīṭāḥ iva dharodare santi
2. Because the essential self (ātman) is a singular, dense mass of consciousness, various species of living beings (jīva) exist within other living beings. They are like the layers of a banana stem, or like insects within the earth's interior.
यो यो नाम यथा ग्रीष्मे कल्पस्वेदाद्भवेत्कृमिः ।
यद्यद्दृश्यं शुद्धचित्खं तज्जीवो भवति स्वतः ॥ ३ ॥
yo yo nāma yathā grīṣme kalpasvedādbhavetkṛmiḥ ,
yadyaddṛśyaṃ śuddhacitkhaṃ tajjīvo bhavati svataḥ 3
3. yaḥ yaḥ nāma yathā grīṣme kalpavedāt bhavet kṛmiḥ
yat yat dṛśyam śuddhacitkham tat jīvaḥ bhavati svataḥ
3. yathā grīṣme yaḥ yaḥ nāma kalpavedāt kṛmiḥ bhavet,
yat yat dṛśyam śuddhacitkham tat svataḥ jīvaḥ bhavati.
3. Just as any being that arises from sweat in summer becomes a worm, similarly, whatever appears as pure consciousness-space (śuddha-cit-kha) spontaneously becomes the individual soul (jīva).
यथा यथा यतन्ते ते जीवकाः स्वात्मसिद्धये ।
तथा तथा भवन्त्याशु विचित्रोपासनक्रमैः ॥ ४ ॥
yathā yathā yatante te jīvakāḥ svātmasiddhaye ,
tathā tathā bhavantyāśu vicitropāsanakramaiḥ 4
4. yathā yathā yatante te jīvakāḥ svātmasiddhaye
tathā tathā bhavanti āśu vicitropāsanakramaiḥ
4. yathā yathā te jīvakāḥ svātmasiddhaye yatante,
tathā tathā āśu vicitropāsanakramaiḥ bhavanti.
4. As the individual souls (jīva) strive for the realization of their own self (ātman), so too do they quickly manifest through various methods of worship and meditation.
देवान्देवयजो यान्ति यक्षा यक्षान्त्व्रजन्ति हि ।
ब्रह्म ब्रह्मयजो यान्ति यदतुच्छं तदाश्रयेत् ॥ ५ ॥
devāndevayajo yānti yakṣā yakṣāntvrajanti hi ,
brahma brahmayajo yānti yadatucchaṃ tadāśrayet 5
5. devān devayajaḥ yānti yakṣāḥ yakṣān tu vrajanti hi
brahma brahmayajaḥ yānti yat atuccham tat āśrayet
5. devayajaḥ devān yānti.
yakṣāḥ tu yakṣān vrajanti hi.
brahmayajaḥ brahma yānti.
yat atuccham tat āśrayet.
5. Worshippers of the gods go to the gods; indeed, Yakshas go to the Yakshas. Worshippers of Brahman (brahman) go to Brahman. One should resort to that which is not insignificant.
स मुक्तो भृगुपुत्रो हि निर्मलत्वात्स्वसंविदः ।
बद्धः प्रथमदृष्टेन दृश्येनाशु स्वभावतः ॥ ६ ॥
sa mukto bhṛguputro hi nirmalatvātsvasaṃvidaḥ ,
baddhaḥ prathamadṛṣṭena dṛśyenāśu svabhāvataḥ 6
6. saḥ muktaḥ bhṛguputraḥ hi nirmalatvāt svasaṃvidaḥ
baddhaḥ prathamadṛṣṭena dṛśyena āśu svabhāvataḥ
6. saḥ bhṛguputraḥ hi svasaṃvidaḥ nirmalatvāt muktaḥ prathamadṛṣṭena dṛśyena āśu svabhāvataḥ baddhaḥ.
6. Indeed, that son of Bhrigu (Bhṛgupuṭra) was liberated due to the purity of his own consciousness, yet he was also quickly bound by the first object he perceived, by his very nature.
भुवि जाता परिम्लाना बाला यत्प्रथमं पुरः ।
संवित्प्राप्नोति तद्रूपा भवत्यन्या न काचन ॥ ७ ॥
bhuvi jātā parimlānā bālā yatprathamaṃ puraḥ ,
saṃvitprāpnoti tadrūpā bhavatyanyā na kācana 7
7. bhuvi jātā parimlānā bālā yat prathamam puraḥ
saṃvit prāpnoti tat rūpā bhavati anyā na kācana
7. When consciousness (saṃvit) first manifests on earth, initially appearing like a tender, withered sprout, it assumes that specific form. No other consciousness (saṃvit) can become that exact same form.
श्रीराम उवाच ।
जाग्रत्स्वप्नदशाभेदं भगवन्वक्तुमर्हसि ।
कथं च जाग्रज्जाग्रत्स्यात्स्वप्नो जाग्रद्भमः कथम् ॥ ८ ॥
śrīrāma uvāca ,
jāgratsvapnadaśābhedaṃ bhagavanvaktumarhasi ,
kathaṃ ca jāgrajjāgratsyātsvapno jāgradbhamaḥ katham 8
8. śrīrāmaḥ uvāca jāgratsvapnadaśābhedam bhagavan vaktum arhasi
katham ca jāgrat jāgrat syāt svapnaḥ jāgradbhramaḥ katham
8. Śrī Rāma said: O Venerable One, you should explain the distinction between the waking and dream states. Furthermore, how can the waking state truly be waking, and how can a dream be considered an illusion within the waking state?
श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
स्थिरप्रत्यययुक्तं यत्तज्जाग्रदिति कथ्यते ।
अस्थिरप्रत्ययं यत्स्यात्तत्स्वप्नः समुदाहृतः ॥ ९ ॥
śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca ,
sthirapratyayayuktaṃ yattajjāgraditi kathyate ,
asthirapratyayaṃ yatsyāttatsvapnaḥ samudāhṛtaḥ 9
9. śrīvasiṣṭhaḥ uvāca sthirapratyayayuktam yat tat jāgrat iti
kathyate asthirapratyayam yat syāt tat svapnaḥ samudāhṛtaḥ
9. Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: That which is characterized by stable perception is termed the waking state (jāgrat). That which has unstable perception is declared to be the dream state (svapna).
जाग्रत्त्वे क्षणदृष्टः स्यात्स्वप्नः कालान्तरे स्थितः ।
तज्जाग्रत्स्वप्नतामेति स्वप्नो जाग्रत्त्वमृच्छति ॥ १० ॥
jāgrattve kṣaṇadṛṣṭaḥ syātsvapnaḥ kālāntare sthitaḥ ,
tajjāgratsvapnatāmeti svapno jāgrattvamṛcchati 10
10. jāgrattve kṣaṇadṛṣṭaḥ syāt svapnaḥ kālāntare sthitaḥ
tat jāgrat svapnatām eti svapnaḥ jāgrattvaṃ ṛcchati
10. In the waking state (jāgrat), a dream (svapna) may be seen for a moment, yet it is situated in a different time. Hence, the waking state itself attains the nature of a dream, and a dream achieves the nature of the waking state.
जाग्रत्स्वप्नदशाभेदो न स्थिरास्थिरते विना ।
समः सदैव सर्वत्र समस्तोऽनुभवोऽनयोः ॥ ११ ॥
jāgratsvapnadaśābhedo na sthirāsthirate vinā ,
samaḥ sadaiva sarvatra samasto'nubhavo'nayoḥ 11
11. jāgratsvapnadaśābhedaḥ na sthirāsthirate vinā
samaḥ sadaiva sarvatra samastaḥ anubhavaḥ anayoḥ
11. jāgratsvapnadaśābhedaḥ sthirāsthirate vinā na
anayoḥ samastaḥ anubhavaḥ sadaiva sarvatra samaḥ
11. The distinction between the waking and dream states does not exist without the principles of permanence and impermanence. The entire experience of both these (states) is always the same everywhere.
स्वप्नोऽपि स्वप्नसमये स्थैर्याज्जाग्रत्त्वमृच्छति ।
अस्थैर्याज्जाग्रदेवास्ते स्वप्नस्तादृशबोधतः ॥ १२ ॥
svapno'pi svapnasamaye sthairyājjāgrattvamṛcchati ,
asthairyājjāgradevāste svapnastādṛśabodhataḥ 12
12. svapnaḥ api svapnasamaye sthairyāt jāgrattvaṃ ṛcchati
asthairyāt jāgrat eva āste svapnaḥ tādṛśabodhataḥ
12. svapnaḥ api svapnasamaye sthairyāt jāgrattvaṃ ṛcchati
jāgrat eva asthairyāt tādṛśabodhataḥ svapnaḥ āste
12. Even a dream, during its own period, attains the nature of the waking state due to its (perceived) stability. Conversely, the waking state itself is understood as a dream, due to its impermanence and a similar kind of perception (as in a dream).
स्वप्नोऽपि जाग्रद्बुद्ध्यंशो जाग्रत्त्वमनुगच्छति ।
स्वप्नता स्वप्नबुद्ध्या तु यथासंवेदनं स्थितम् ॥ १३ ॥
svapno'pi jāgradbuddhyaṃśo jāgrattvamanugacchati ,
svapnatā svapnabuddhyā tu yathāsaṃvedanaṃ sthitam 13
13. svapnaḥ api jāgradbuddhyaṃśaḥ jāgrattvaṃ anugacchati
svapnatā svapnabuddhyā tu yathāsaṃvedanaṃ sthitam
13. svapnaḥ api jāgradbuddhyaṃśaḥ jāgrattvaṃ anugacchati
tu svapnatā svapnabuddhyā yathāsaṃvedanaṃ sthitam
13. Even a dream, being a part of the waking intellect, tends towards the nature of waking. However, the state of being a dream (svapnatā) exists by means of the dream intellect, according to how it is experienced.
यत्तु यावत्स्थिरं बुद्धं तत्तावज्जाग्रदुच्यते ।
क्षणभङ्गात्तु तत्स्वप्नो यथा भवति तच्छ्रुणु ॥ १४ ॥
yattu yāvatsthiraṃ buddhaṃ tattāvajjāgraducyate ,
kṣaṇabhaṅgāttu tatsvapno yathā bhavati tacchruṇu 14
14. yat tu yāvat sthiraṃ buddhaṃ tat tāvat jāgrat ucyate
kṣaṇabhaṅgāt tu tat svapnaḥ yathā bhavati tat śṛṇu
14. yat yāvat sthiraṃ buddhaṃ tu tat tāvat jāgrat ucyate
kṣaṇabhaṅgāt tu tat yathā svapnaḥ bhavati tat śṛṇu
14. Whatever is perceived as stable for a certain duration, that is considered the waking state. But when that same (perceived reality) becomes a dream due to its momentary dissolution, listen to how that happens.
जीवधातुः शरीरेऽन्तर्विद्यते येन जीव्यते ।
तेजो वीर्यं जीवधातुरित्याद्यभिधमङ्ग यत् ॥ १५ ॥
jīvadhātuḥ śarīre'ntarvidyate yena jīvyate ,
tejo vīryaṃ jīvadhāturityādyabhidhamaṅga yat 15
15. jīvadhātuḥ śarīre antaḥ vidyate yena jīvyate
tejaḥ vīryam jīvadhātuḥ iti ādi abhidham aṅga yat
15. śarīre antaḥ jīvadhātuḥ vidyate,
yena jīvyate.
aṅga,
yat tejaḥ vīryam jīvadhātuḥ iti ādi abhidham,
(tat eva jīvadhātuḥ asti).
15. Within the body, the living essence (jīvadhātu) exists, by which one lives. O dear one, that which is known by names such as brilliance (tejas), vitality (vīrya), and indeed the living essence (jīvadhātu) itself, is this very principle.
व्यवहारी यदा कायो मनसा कर्मणा गिरा ।
भवेत्तदा मरुन्नुन्नो जीवधातुः प्रसर्पति ॥ १६ ॥
vyavahārī yadā kāyo manasā karmaṇā girā ,
bhavettadā marunnunno jīvadhātuḥ prasarpati 16
16. vyavahārī yadā kāyaḥ manasā karmaṇā girā
bhavet tadā marut unnaḥ jīvadhātuḥ prasarpatī
16. yadā kāyaḥ manasā karmaṇā girā vyavahārī bhavet,
tadā marut-unnaḥ jīvadhātuḥ prasarpatī.
16. When the body becomes active (vyavahārī) through mind, action, and speech, then the living essence (jīvadhātu), propelled by the vital air (marut), spreads forth.
तस्मिन्प्रसर्पत्यङ्गेषु सर्वा संविदुदेति हि ।
दृष्टत्वात्प्रैति चित्ताख्यमन्तर्लीनजगद्भ्रमम् ॥ १७ ॥
tasminprasarpatyaṅgeṣu sarvā saṃvidudeti hi ,
dṛṣṭatvātpraiti cittākhyamantarlīnajagadbhramam 17
17. tasmin prasarpatī aṅgeṣu sarvā saṃvit udeti hi
dṛṣṭatvāt prāiti citta ākhyam antaḥ līna jagat bhramam
17. tasmin prasarpatī (sati),
aṅgeṣu sarvā saṃvit udeti hi.
dṛṣṭatvāt,
citta-ākhyam antaḥ-līna-jagat-bhramam prāiti.
17. When that (living essence) spreads, indeed all consciousness (saṃvid) arises in the limbs. Due to its being directly perceived, the worldly delusion (saṃsāra) residing within, which is known as the mind (citta), vanishes.
ईक्षणादिषु रन्ध्रेषु प्रसरन्ती बहिर्मयम् ।
नानाकारविकाराढ्यं रूपमात्मनि पश्यति ॥ १८ ॥
īkṣaṇādiṣu randhreṣu prasarantī bahirmayam ,
nānākāravikārāḍhyaṃ rūpamātmani paśyati 18
18. īkṣaṇa ādiṣu randhreṣu prasaranti bahis mayam
nānākāravikārāḍhyam rūpam ātmani paśyati
18. (sā saṃvit) īkṣaṇa-ādiṣu randhreṣu prasaranti (sati),
ātmani bahirmayam nānākāravikārāḍhyam rūpam paśyati.
18. Spreading through the apertures of perception and so forth, that (consciousness, saṃvid) perceives within the self (ātman) an external form (rūpa), abundant with various shapes and transformations.
स्थिरत्वात्तत्तथैवाथ जाग्रदित्यवगम्यते ।
जाग्रत्क्रम इति प्रोक्तः सुषुप्तादिक्रमं श्रृणु ॥ १९ ॥
sthiratvāttattathaivātha jāgradityavagamyate ,
jāgratkrama iti proktaḥ suṣuptādikramaṃ śrṛṇu 19
19. sthiratvāt tat tathā eva atha jāgrat iti avagamyate
jāgrat-kramaḥ iti proktaḥ suṣupti-ādi-kramam śṛṇu
19. atha tat sthiratvāt tathā eva jāgrat iti avagamyate.
ayam jāgrat-kramaḥ iti proktaḥ.
suṣupti-ādi-kramam śṛṇu.
19. Due to its stability, it is thus understood as the waking state. This is called the 'waking sequence'. Now, listen to the sequence beginning with deep sleep.
मनसा कर्मणा वाचा यदा क्षुभ्यति नो वपुः ।
शान्तात्मा तिष्ठति स्वस्थो जीवधातुस्तदा त्वसौ ॥ २० ॥
manasā karmaṇā vācā yadā kṣubhyati no vapuḥ ,
śāntātmā tiṣṭhati svastho jīvadhātustadā tvasau 20
20. manasā karmaṇā vācā yadā kṣubhyati naḥ vapuḥ
śānta-ātmā tiṣṭhati svasthaḥ jīva-dhātuḥ tadā tu asau
20. yadā vapuḥ manasā karmaṇā vācā naḥ kṣubhyati,
tadā asau jīva-dhātuḥ śānta-ātmā svasthaḥ tiṣṭhati.
20. When the body (vapuḥ) is not agitated by mind, action, or speech, then that living essence (jīvadhātu) remains calm (śāntātman) and self-abiding.
समतामागतैर्वातैः क्षोभ्यते न हृदम्बरे ।
निर्वातसदने दीपो यथाऽऽलोकैककारकः ॥ २१ ॥
samatāmāgatairvātaiḥ kṣobhyate na hṛdambare ,
nirvātasadane dīpo yathā''lokaikakārakaḥ 21
21. samatām āgataiḥ vātaiḥ kṣobhyate na hṛd-ambare
nirvāta-sadane dīpaḥ yathā āloka-eka-kārakaḥ
21. yathā nirvāta-sadane āloka-eka-kārakaḥ dīpaḥ (tathā) hṛd-ambare samatām āgataiḥ vātaiḥ na kṣobhyate.
21. Just as a lamp in a windless house, creating light alone, is not agitated in the heart-space (hṛdambara) by balanced (samatām āgataiḥ) vital breaths (vātaiḥ).
ततः सरति नाङ्गेषु संवित्क्षुभ्यति तेन नो ।
न चेक्षणादीन्यायाति रन्ध्राण्यायाति नो बहिः ॥ २२ ॥
tataḥ sarati nāṅgeṣu saṃvitkṣubhyati tena no ,
na cekṣaṇādīnyāyāti randhrāṇyāyāti no bahiḥ 22
22. tataḥ sarati na aṅgeṣu saṃvit kṣubhyati tena naḥ
na ca īkṣaṇa-ādīni āyāti randhrāṇi āyāti naḥ bahiḥ
22. tataḥ saṃvit aṅgeṣu na sarati,
tena na kṣubhyati.
ca na īkṣaṇa-ādīni āyāti,
na randhrāṇi bahiḥ āyāti.
22. From that (state), consciousness (saṃvit) does not flow into the limbs (aṅgeṣu), nor is it agitated by them. Nor does it go to the senses like sight (īkṣaṇādīni), nor does it go outside through the apertures.
जीवोऽन्तरेव स्फुरति तैलसंविद्यथा तिले ।
शीतसंविद्धिम इव स्नेहसंविद्यथा घृते ॥ २३ ॥
jīvo'ntareva sphurati tailasaṃvidyathā tile ,
śītasaṃviddhima iva snehasaṃvidyathā ghṛte 23
23. jīvaḥ antare eva sphurati tailasaṃvit yathā tile
śītasaṃvit himaḥ iva snehasaṃvit yathā ghṛte
23. yathā tile tailasaṃvit (sphurati),
himaḥ iva śītasaṃvit (sphurati),
yathā ghṛte snehasaṃvit (sphurati),
(tathā) jīvaḥ antare eva sphurati.
23. Just as the consciousness of oil (tailasaṃvid) manifests within a sesame seed, and the consciousness of cold (śītasaṃvid) is like ice (himaḥ), and just as the consciousness of butter (snehasaṃvid) manifests within ghee, so too does the individual soul (jīva) pulsate within (the self).
जीवाकारा कला काचिच्चितिः स्वच्छतयात्मनि ।
दशामायाति सौषुप्तिं सौम्यवातां विचेतनाम् ॥ २४ ॥
jīvākārā kalā kāciccitiḥ svacchatayātmani ,
daśāmāyāti sauṣuptiṃ saumyavātāṃ vicetanām 24
24. jīvākārā kalā kācit citiḥ svacchatayā ātmani
daśām āyāti sauṣuptim saumyavātām vicetanām
24. kācit jīvākārā kalā,
svacchatayā citiḥ (bhūtvā),
ātmani sauṣuptim saumyavātām vicetanām daśām āyāti.
24. A certain subtle aspect (kalā), formed like the individual soul (jīva-ākārā), which is consciousness (citiḥ), by virtue of its purity, attains within the self (ātman) the state of deep sleep (sauṣupti), a tranquil and unconscious condition.
ज्ञात्वा वैचित्युपरते साम्यं व्यवहरन्नपि ।
जाग्रत्स्वप्नसुषुप्तेषु संबुद्धस्तुर्यवान्स्मृतः ॥ २५ ॥
jñātvā vaicityuparate sāmyaṃ vyavaharannapi ,
jāgratsvapnasuṣupteṣu saṃbuddhasturyavānsmṛtaḥ 25
25. jñātvā vaicitrya-uparate sāmyam vyavaharan api
jāgrat-svapna-suṣupteṣu saṃbuddhaḥ turyavān smṛtaḥ
25. vaicitrya-uparate (bhūtvā),
sāmyam jñātvā,
vyavaharan api,
yaḥ jāgrat-svapna-suṣupteṣu (sāmyam rakṣati),
saḥ saṃbuddhaḥ turyavān smṛtaḥ.
25. Having known the cessation of mental fluctuations (vaicitryuparate) and while still engaged in worldly activities (vyavaharann api), one who maintains equanimity (sāmyam) in the waking, dream, and deep sleep states (jāgrat-svapna-suṣupteṣu) is considered enlightened (saṃbuddhaḥ) and possessing the fourth state (turya-vān).
सुषुप्ते सौम्यतां यातैः प्राणैः संचाल्यते यदा ।
स जीवधातुः सा संवित्ततश्चित्ततयोदिता ॥ २६ ॥
suṣupte saumyatāṃ yātaiḥ prāṇaiḥ saṃcālyate yadā ,
sa jīvadhātuḥ sā saṃvittataścittatayoditā 26
26. suṣupte saumyatām yātaiḥ prāṇaiḥ saṃcālyate yadā
saḥ jīva-dhātuḥ sā saṃvit tataḥ cittatayā uditā
26. yadā suṣupte saḥ jīva-dhātuḥ saumyatām yātaiḥ prāṇaiḥ saṃcālyate,
tataḥ sā saṃvit cittatayā uditā (bhavati).
26. When, in deep sleep (suṣupte), that element of life (jīva-dhātu) is moved by the tranquil (saumyatām yātaiḥ) vital breaths (prāṇaiḥ), then that consciousness (saṃvit) is referred to as 'mind' (cittatayā uditā).
स्वान्तःसंस्थजगज्जालं भावाभावैः क्रमभ्रमैः ।
पश्यति स्वान्तरेवाशु स्फारं बीज इव द्रुमम् ॥ २७ ॥
svāntaḥsaṃsthajagajjālaṃ bhāvābhāvaiḥ kramabhramaiḥ ,
paśyati svāntarevāśu sphāraṃ bīja iva drumam 27
27. svāntaḥsaṃsthajagajjālam bhāvābhāvaiḥ kramabhramaiḥ
paśyati svāntare eva āśu sphāram bīje iva drumam
27. svāntare eva āśu bhāvābhāvaiḥ kramabhramaiḥ sphāram
svāntaḥsaṃsthajagajjālam paśyati bīje iva drumam
27. The self (ātman) perceives the entire network of worlds (jagajjāla) residing within its own inner being, manifesting quickly through sequential illusions of existence and non-existence, just as a vast tree (druma) [is contained] within a seed (bīja).
जीवधातुर्यदा वातैः किंचित्संक्षुभ्यते भृशम् ।
ततोऽस्म्यहं सुप्त इति पश्यत्यात्मनि खे गतिम् ॥ २८ ॥
jīvadhāturyadā vātaiḥ kiṃcitsaṃkṣubhyate bhṛśam ,

28. jīvadhātuḥ yadā vātaiḥ kiṃcit saṃkṣubhyate bhṛśam
tataḥ asmi aham suptaḥ iti paśyati ātmani khe gatim
28. jīvadhātuḥ yadā vātaiḥ bhṛśam kiṃcit saṃkṣubhyate
tataḥ aham suptaḥ iti ātmani khe gatim paśyati
28. When the life-principle (jīvadhātu) is greatly agitated by the winds (vāta), then one perceives in the self (ātman) a movement in space (khe gati), thinking, 'I am asleep.'
यदाम्भसा प्लाव्यतेऽसौ तदा वार्यादिसंभ्रमम् ।
अन्तरेवानुभवति स्वामोदं कुसुमं यथा ॥ २९ ॥
yadāmbhasā plāvyate'sau tadā vāryādisaṃbhramam ,
antarevānubhavati svāmodaṃ kusumaṃ yathā 29
29. yadā ambhasā plāvyate asau tadā vāryādisaṃbhramam
antare eva anubhavati svāmodam kusumam yathā
29. yadā asau ambhasā plāvyate tadā antare eva
vāryādisaṃbhramam anubhavati yathā kusumam svāmodam
29. When that [being] is inundated by water (ambhasā), then it experiences within its inner being (antara) the agitation or illusion of water (vāri) and similar things, just as a flower (kusuma) [experiences] its own fragrance (svāmoda).
यदा पित्तादिनाक्रान्तस्तदा ग्रीष्मादिसंभ्रमम् ।
अन्तरेवामुभवति स्फारं बहिरिवाखिलम् ॥ ३० ॥
yadā pittādinākrāntastadā grīṣmādisaṃbhramam ,
antarevāmubhavati sphāraṃ bahirivākhilam 30
30. yadā pittādinā ākrāntaḥ tadā grīṣmādisaṃbhramam
antare eva anubhavati sphāram bahis iva akhilam
30. yadā pittādinā ākrāntaḥ [asau] tadā antare eva
grīṣmādisaṃbhramam anubhavati akhilam bahis iva sphāram
30. When [a person] is afflicted by pitta (bile) and other similar [doṣas], then they experience within their inner being (antara) the illusion of summer (grīṣma) and so forth, perceiving the entire external world (akhila) as if it were vast and expansive.
रक्तापूर्णो रक्तवर्णान्देशान्कालान्बहिर्यथा ।
पश्यत्यनुभवात्मत्वात्तत्रैव च निमज्जति ॥ ३१ ॥
raktāpūrṇo raktavarṇāndeśānkālānbahiryathā ,
paśyatyanubhavātmatvāttatraiva ca nimajjati 31
31. raktapūrṇaḥ raktavarṇān deśān kālān bahiḥ yathā
paśyati anubhavātmatvāt tatra eva ca nimajjati
31. yathā raktapūrṇaḥ bahiḥ raktavarṇān deśān kālān paśyati,
(tathā) anubhavātmatvāt ca tatra eva nimajjati
31. Just as a person, permeated by an internal state (metaphorically 'blood-red'), perceives external lands and times as if they too are blood-red, so too, because of the self-nature of experience, one plunges into that very (internal) state.
सेवते वासनां यां तां सोऽन्तः पश्यति निद्रितः ।
पवनक्षोभितो रन्ध्रैर्बहिरक्षादिभिर्यथा ॥ ३२ ॥

32. While asleep, a person internally perceives the particular latent impression (vāsanā) that he cultivates. This is just like someone, agitated by 'wind' (vital energy or mental disturbance), perceives external objects through the apertures (of the body) like the eyes.
अनाक्रान्तेन्द्रियच्छिद्रो यतः क्षुब्धोऽन्तरेव सः ।
संविदानुभवत्याशु स स्वप्न इति कथ्यते ॥ ३३ ॥
anākrāntendriyacchidro yataḥ kṣubdho'ntareva saḥ ,

33. anākrāntendriyacchidraḥ yataḥ kṣubdhaḥ antare eva

33. yataḥ (ayam) anākrāntendriyacchidraḥ,
saḥ antare eva kṣubdhaḥ.
(yā) saṃvid āśu anubhavati,
saḥ svapnaḥ iti kathyate.
33. Since the openings of his sense organs are not assailed (by external stimuli), he is agitated only internally. This consciousness (saṃvid), which quickly experiences these (internal perceptions), is called a dream.
समाक्रान्तेन्द्रियच्छिद्रो यः क्षुब्धो वायुना यदा ।
परिपश्यति तज्जाग्रदित्याहुर्मुनिसत्तमाः ॥ ३४ ॥
samākrāntendriyacchidro yaḥ kṣubdho vāyunā yadā ,
paripaśyati tajjāgradityāhurmunisattamāḥ 34
34. samākrāntendriyacchidraḥ yaḥ kṣubdhaḥ vāyunā yadā
paripaśyati tat jāgrat iti āhuḥ munisattamāḥ
34. yadā yaḥ samākrāntendriyacchidraḥ vāyunā kṣubdhaḥ (san) tat paripaśyati,
(tadā) munisattamāḥ tat jāgrat iti āhuḥ.
34. When one's sense-apertures are fully engaged, and one is agitated by the vital energy (vāyu), and then one perceives (the external world), the best among the sages (muni) call that the waking state.
इति विदितवता त्वयाधुनान्तः प्रथितमहामतिनेह सत्यताख्या ।
असति जगति नैव भावनीया मृतिहतिसंहृतिदोषभावनी या ॥ ३५ ॥
iti viditavatā tvayādhunāntaḥ prathitamahāmatineha satyatākhyā ,
asati jagati naiva bhāvanīyā mṛtihatisaṃhṛtidoṣabhāvanī yā 35
35. iti viditavatā tvayā adhunā antaḥ
prathitamahāmatinā iha satyatā
ākhyā asati jagati na eva bhāvanīyā

iti viditavatā tvayā iha asati

yā satyatā ākhyā na eva bhāvanīyā
35. Therefore, by you, whose great intellect (mahāmati) is now well-known within, and who have thus understood, the very notion of truth (satyatā) in this impermanent world - which is inherently subject to death, destruction, and flaws - should not be regarded as truly existent.
