(That which is) Intelligent is denoted by the Sanskrit term Dhimat, according to the Māṇḍūkyopaniṣatkārikā 3.37.—Accordingly, while discussing the no-mind state: “The mode of [this no-mind] mind which is restrained, free of thought and intelligent (dhimat) should be known. The other [mode of mind] in deep sleep is not the same as that”.
