Devanagari script
प्रसादे चैव सत्त्वस्य प्रसादं समवाप्नुयात् लक्षणं हि प्रसादस्य यथा स्यात् स्वप्नदर्शनम्

prasāde caiva sattvasya prasādaṁ samavāpnuyāt | lakṣaṇaṁ hi prasādasya yathā syāt svapnadarśanam ||
Translation
风神说道：“当内在之性（sattva）澄明安静时，便得安静本身。安静之相是：如人既醒，梦境便寂然无力、不能系心；同样，净化之征，是心之清明欢悦而不为扰动。”

True purification is recognized by prasāda—lucid, steady serenity. When sattva becomes clear, mental disturbances subside naturally, like a dream losing reality upon waking.
Vāyudeva instructs the listener on the experiential sign of inner purification: the mind becomes transparently calm, and illusory or agitating impressions fade the way dream-images fade after awakening.
