But when he moves about in sleep (and dream), then these are his worlds. He is, as it were, a great king; he is, as it were, a great Brâhmana; he rises, as it were, and he falls. And as a great king might keep in his own subjects, and move about, according to his pleasure, within his own domain, thus does that person (who is endowed with intelligence) keep in the various senses (prânas) and move about, according to his pleasure, within his own body (while dreaming).

'जब वह स्वप्न में विचरता है, तब वे उसके लोक होते हैं। तब वह मानो महाराज होता है, मानो महाब्राह्मण होता है, मानो ऊँची-नीची अवस्थाओं को प्राप्त होता है। जैसे कोई महाराज अपनी प्रजाओं को साथ लेकर अपने राज्य में इच्छानुसार घूमे, वैसे ही यह प्राणों (इन्द्रियों) को साथ लेकर अपने शरीर में इच्छानुसार घूमता है।'
