मनःस्पन्दोपशान्त्यायं संसारः प्रविलीयते ।
सूर्यालोकपरिस्पन्दशान्तौ व्यवहृतिर्यथा ॥ १६ ॥

manaḥspandopaśāntyāyaṃ saṃsāraḥ pravilīyate |
sūryālokaparispandaśāntau vyavahṛtiryathā || 16 ||

The action of the mind being stopped, the perception of the existence of the world becomes extinct (as we have no perception of it in our sound sleep, when the mind is inactive). It is like the extinction of worldly affairs at sunset.
