In this state, the divine-being experiences his own ego-ness in dreams. He perceives what is seen and heard and repeatedly experiences what has been encountered in various directions. He observes things, whether seen or unseen, heard or unheard, experienced or not, real or unreal. When overwhelmed by brilliance, the divine-being does not dream. Then, happiness is present in the body.
Bhāṣya 04.04
The non-material body of the being is similar to that of the Lord. Happiness arises in the being during dream-less deep sleep that is endowed with a resemblance to the body of the Lord.
bhagavataḥ śarīravatsādṛśyayukte jīve sukhaṃ bhavati।
Happiness arises in the being (during dream-less deep sleep) that is endowed with a resemblance to the body of the Lord.
kasyaitatsukhaṁ bhavatīti pṛṣṭatvāt। nahyacetanasyā śarīrasya sukhaṁ bhavati।
When asked, 'Whose happiness is this?' it is understood that the body, being unconscious, does not experience happiness. (In this context, the being is addressed as body:)
"yasyātmā śarīram"
"This being is the body."
iti ca śrutiḥ।
- stated thus in the Vedic scriptures.
sādṛśyāddehavajjīvo viṣṇostasya sukhaṃ bhavet। suptautasya sukhārthaṃ hi bhagavān suptimānayet॥
"The being resembling the body of the Lord Vishnu may experience happiness. Indeed, for the sake of His happiness in sleep, the Lord may bring sleep."
iti ca॥
- stated thus as well.

...

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
