अर्थMeaning
Agâtasatru said: 'When this man was thus asleep, then the intelligent person (purusha), having through the intelligence of the senses (prânas) absorbed within himself all intelligence, lies in the ether, which is in the heart . When he takes in these different kinds of intelligence, then it is said that the man sleeps (svapiti) . Then the breath is kept in, speech is kept in, the ear is kept in, the eye is kept in, the mind is kept in.

व्याख्याVyakhya
अजातशत्रु ने कहा, 'जब यह सोया हुआ था, तब यह जो विज्ञानमय पुरुष है, वह इन प्राणों (इन्द्रियों) के विज्ञान को अपने विज्ञान से लेकर, हृदय के भीतर जो यह आकाश है, उसमें सोता है। जब वह इन्हें ग्रहण कर लेता है, तब इस पुरुष को 'स्वपिति' (सोता है) कहते हैं। तब प्राण (घ्राण) गृहीत (भीतर समेटा हुआ) रहता है, वाणी गृहीत रहती है, नेत्र गृहीत रहता है, श्रोत्र गृहीत रहता है और मन गृहीत रहता है।'
