बोधैकनिष्ठतां यातो जाग्रत्येव सुषुप्तवत् ।
या आस्ते व्यवहर्तैव जीवन्मुक्तः स उच्यते ॥ ५ ॥

bodhaikaniṣṭhatāṃ yāto jāgratyeva suṣuptavat |
yā āste vyavahartaiva jīvanmuktaḥ sa ucyate || 5 ||

Who so is employed in his intellection only and seems to be sleeping in his waking state, though while conducting his worldly affairs: such a one is called the living liberated.
