यादृग्वासनमेतत्स्यात्तमनस्तादृक्प्रजायते ।
जातं स्वपिति यच्चित्तं तत्स्वप्ने निशि तिष्ठति ॥ २८ ॥

jātaṃ svapiti yaccittaṃ tatsvapne niśi tiṣṭhati || 28 ||

As is the desire or thought in the mind, so is it born in its next state of metempsychosis. Hence the new born babe is given to sleeping, because it thinks itself to be dead, and lying in the night-time of his death. It is also given to the dreaming of those things, which had been the objects of its desire or thought in its previous state or birth.
