Academic Translation

Where people are always asleep, there the self-controlled one is awake; where those (people) are awake, there the wise sovereign of yogins enters deep sleep.

Verse Context

• Jñāna (awakening) versus avidyā (sleep); turīya as the yogin’s standpoint beyond waking/sleep
• Mahavakya: Indirectly supports ‘prajñānaṃ brahma’ (Aitareya) by contrasting true wakefulness (prajñā) with worldly ‘sleep’ (avidyā).
• Yajur
• Śukla-Yajurveda (Vājasaneyī) — traditional association; text is a late Yoga-Upaniṣad with fluid śākhā attribution Shakha
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
