Māndukya 2.04
In the deep-sleep state, one perceives neither oneself nor others, neither truth nor falsehood; but in the fourth state one perceives always, which is all-seeing.
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.
"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."
- stated thus in the ancient testimonial named Pratyaya.
"The term 'agent' is used in the state of independence, while the deep-sleep state signifies non-awareness. In contrast, in the all-revealing fourth state, there is the vision of everything."
- stated thus in Brahmatarka.
