ईश-आज्ञया । माया-उपाधिः । अव्यक्त-समन्वितः । व्यष्टि-कारण-शरीरम् । प्रविश्य । प्राज्ञ-त्वम् । अगमत् । प्राज्ञः । अविच्छिन्नः । पारमार्थिकः । सुषुप्ति-अभिमानी । इति । प्राज्ञस्य । नाम । भवति ॥८॥
īśājñayā māyopādhiḥ avyaktasamanvitaḥ vyaṣṭikāraṇaśarīraṃ praviśya prājñatvam agamat | prājño'vicchinnaḥ pāramārthikaḥ suṣuptyabhimānīti prājñasya nāma bhavati ||8||
भगवान के हुकुम से माया वाली शक्ति गई और कारण शरीर में गई। वो प्राज्ञ बन गई। प्राज्ञ वो है जो गहरी नींद में है, जहाँ कुछ भी नहीं दिखता। यह सब से अलग है, असली है। यह गहरी नींद वाली अवस्था है।
By the command of the Lord, the māyā-upādhi, conjoined with the unmanifest, entering the individual causal body, attained the state of Prājña. ‘Prājña’—undivided, (taken as) pāramārthika, the one who identifies with deep sleep—this becomes the designation of Prājña.
Nidrā/suṣupti contemplation: recognize the bliss/undifferentiated rest of deep sleep as an experience, not final liberation; practice witnessing the transition into sleep (yoga-nidrā) to discern awareness distinct from causal ignorance; supports vairāgya toward all three states.
