Verse 5.70.12

चित्ते चित्तदशाहीने या स्थितिः क्षीणचेतसाम् ।
सोच्यते शान्तकलना जाग्रत्येव सुषुप्तता ॥ १२ ॥

citte cittadaśāhīne yā sthitiḥ kṣīṇacetasām |
socyate śāntakalanā jāgratyeva suṣuptatā || 12 ||

The mind losing its mental powers, and remaining vacant as in the case of distraction or dementedness; is said to be in its waking sleepiness, when its faculty in imagination is at an utter stop.
