Verse 7.29.55

चेतनस्याचेतनत्वमचेत्योन्मुखतात्मकम् ।
मोक्षं विद्धि परं शान्तं पदमव्ययमेव च ॥ ५५ ॥

cetanasyācetanatvamacetyonmukhatātmakam |
mokṣaṃ viddhi paraṃ śāntaṃ padamavyayameva ca || 55 ||

It is said to be the dormancy or insensibility of intellection, when it is not employed about the intelligible objects; it is then called the supremely calm and quiet state of liberation (both for thought and action); and is free from decay.
