Bhāshya 2.04
A person in deep-sleep does not perceive anything about themselves, others, truth, or falsehood without the ignorance that comes with life. The Supreme Lord, in the fourth state of liberation, reveals everything, unlike in the state of deep-sleep where only happiness is shown. The term 'agent' is used in the state of independence, while the deep-sleep state signifies non-awareness.
"नात्मानं न परांश्चैव न सत्यं नापि चानृतम्। प्राज्ञः संवेदयेत् किंञचिज्जीवकालतमो विना॥ सुप्त्यवस्थां सुखं चापि विना नान्यत् प्रदर्शयेत्। सर्वं तु दर्शयेन्मुक्तौ तुरीयः परमेश्वरः॥"
