svapno'tha jāgraditi śāntamanantamekaṃ cinmātramatra nanu nāma vināstu vādaḥ 45

45. svapne yathā gaganam eva purācalādi

svapnaḥ atha jāgrat iti śāntam anantam ekam
cinmātram atra nanu nāma vinā astu vādaḥ

tadvat eva jāgrati (api asti).

45. O fortunate one, just as in a dream the sky itself, ancient mountains, and so forth are entirely consciousness (saṃvitmayaṃ), similarly, it is the same in the waking state. Therefore, here, there is surely only the tranquil, infinite, singular, pure consciousness (cinmātram); let there be discourse about this, without mere verbal disputes over names like 'dream' or 'waking'.
