Verse 7.161.40

सबाह्याभ्यन्तरे दृश्ये शान्तनिद्रस्य यद्वपुः ।
एकस्य निशि तद्रूपं जाग्रत्स्वप्नदृशामिह ॥ ४० ॥

sabāhyābhyantare dṛśye śāntanidrasya yadvapuḥ |
ekasya niśi tadrūpaṃ jāgratsvapnadṛśāmiha || 40 ||

As one has his body and mind, quite quiet and calm in his sleep at night; and in the respite of his sights and thoughts, in the states of his waking and dreaming; this very state of insensibility is called nirvana of the yogi.
