ततः प्रबोधमापन्नः क्षणसुप्त इवाध्वगः ॥ ८ ॥

iti saṃcintya sa dhyāne punastasthau dināni ṣaṭ |
tataḥ prabodhamāpannaḥ kṣaṇasupta ivādhvagaḥ || 8 ||

Having mused in this manner, he sat at his meditation for six days and nights; after which he was roused as a passenger wakes after his short nap on the way.
