शुद्धा संवित्स्वभावस्था यत्स्वयं भाति भास्वरा ।
तस्या भानस्य तस्यास्य जाग्रत्स्वप्नाभिधाःकृताः ॥ १६ ॥

śuddhā saṃvitsvabhāvasthā yatsvayaṃ bhāti bhāsvarā |
tasyā bhānasya tasyāsya jāgratsvapnābhidhāḥkṛtāḥ || 16 ||

Whenever our pure consciousness of things, shines forth of its own nature in either of its two states of clearness or faintness; it is then the reflection of the one [that] takes the appellation of waking, and the other is known as the dreaming state.
