yatra vāsanā nirbījā tat turyaṃ siddhidaṃ smṛtam
20. That state of deep sleep (suṣupti) where the seed of latent desires (vāsanā) still exists does not lead to ultimate perfection (siddhi). Conversely, where desires (vāsanā) are rendered seedless, that state is remembered as the fourth (turya), bestowing ultimate perfection (siddhi).
