Dharma-Pramāṇa-Vicāra: The Elusiveness of Dharma and the Limits of Rule-Lists
स्वपतां जाग्रतां चैष सर्वेषामात्मचिन्तितम् | प्रधानाद्वैधमुक्तानां जहतां कर्मजं रज:
svapatāṁ jāgratāṁ caiṣa sarveṣām ātma-cintitam | pradhānād vaidhā-muktānāṁ jahatāṁ karma-jaṁ rajaḥ ||
毗耶娑说：对于那些以瑜伽之力舍弃由业行所生的罗阇斯（rajas）——欲望等扰动——并且又从与原质（Pradhāna，太初自然）的认同中解脱出来的瑜伽行者而言，自我恒常安住于其掌控之下：睡时如醒时，昼如夜，无论心识系于何境，皆不失其主宰。

Educational Q&A
A perfected yogin transcends action-born rajas (desire-driven agitation) and even identification with Pradhāna (Nature). As a result, the Self remains steady and mastered in every condition—sleeping or waking—showing true inner freedom rather than situational calm.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on liberation-oriented disciplines, Vyāsa describes the hallmark of advanced yogins: through yoga they abandon the rajas arising from karma and become free from Nature-based identification, so their inner self remains consistently controlled across day/night and sleep/wake states.
