Mantra 25

ऊर्ध्वः सुप्तेषु जागार ननु तिर्यङ् नि पद्यते । न सुप्तमस्य सुप्तेष्वनु शुश्राव कश्चन

Upright he waketh among the sleepers; surely he sinketh not down awry. None, when all are sleeping, hath ever heard that he sleepeth.
قائمًا يَصحو بين النائمين؛ حقًّا لا يهبطُ مائلاً. ولم يسمع أحدٌ قطّ، حين ينام الجميع، أنّه ينام.
