नैतज्जाग्रन्न च स्वप्नं संकल्पानामसंभवात् ।
सुषुप्तभावो नाप्येतदभावाज्जडता स्थितेः ॥ २५ ॥

naitajjāgranna ca svapnaṃ saṃkalpānāmasaṃbhavāt ,
suṣuptabhāvo nāpyetadabhāvājjaḍatā sthiteḥ 25

25. etat jāgrat na ca svapnam na saṅkalpānām asaṃbhavāt
api etat suṣuptabhāvaḥ na sthiteḥ jaḍatā abhāvāt

25. This (turya state) is neither the waking state nor the dreaming state, because mental constructs (saṅkalpa) do not arise in it. Nor is it the state of deep sleep, because there is no inertness or dullness (jaḍatā) in its established condition.
