'And there are two states for that person, the one here in this world, the other in the other world, and as a third an intermediate state, the state of sleep. When in that intermediate state, he sees both those states together, the one here in this world, and the other in the other world. Now whatever his admission to the other world may be, having gained that admission, he sees both the evils and the blessings . 'And when he falls asleep, then after having taken away with him the material from the whole world, destroying and building it up again, he sleeps (dreams) by his own light. In that state the person is self-illuminated.

'उस पुरुष के दो ही स्थान हैं: यह (लोक) और परलोक; तीसरा सन्ध्य (बीच का) स्थान स्वप्न है। उस सन्ध्य स्थान में रहता हुआ वह इन दोनों स्थानों को देखता है, यह (लोक) और परलोक। परलोक के स्थान के लिए उसका जैसा आश्रय (साधन) होता है, उस आश्रय को पाकर वह पापों (दुःखों) और आनन्दों, दोनों को देखता है। जब वह सोता है, तब इस सर्वसाधन-सम्पन्न लोक का अंश (संस्कार) लेकर, स्वयं (स्थूल शरीर को) निश्चेष्ट करके, स्वयं (स्वप्न-जगत्) रचकर, अपनी दीप्ति से, अपनी ज्योति से सोता है। यहाँ यह पुरुष स्वयं-ज्योति होता है।'
