Verse 3.22.4

स्वप्ने निर्वासनाबीजे यथोदेति सुषुप्तता ।
जाग्रत्यवासनाबीजे तथोदेति विमुक्तता ॥ ४ ॥

svapne nirvāsanābīje yathodeti suṣuptatā |
jāgratyavāsanābīje tathodeti vimuktatā || 4 ||

As a sound sleep succeeds the dormancy which is devoid of desires, (i. e. when we are unconscious of the actions and volition of our minds); so does the tranquillity of liberation follow the state of our inappetency even in our waking bodies.
