21/06/2019 Slokam-8. "Na jagrat na me na svapnako va sushuptih na visvo na va taijasah prajnako va, avidyatma-katvat trayanam turiyam tadeko-vasishtah sivah kevalo-ham." na = neither; jagrat = waking; na = nor; me = for me; svapnakah = dream; va = and; sushuptih = deep sleep; na = nor; visvah = visva; na va = and nor; taijasah = taijasa; prajnakah = prajna; va = or and; avidyatma-katvat = are of the nature of nescience; trayanam = of these three states; turiyam = I am the fourth ( turiya ) ( beyond these three ); tadekah = that one; avisishtah = remains; sivah = Auspicious and Pure; kevalo-ham = alone I am. "Fo me there is neither waking nor dream nor deep sleep, nor I am the one conditioned by these three states ( Vaisva, Taijasa, Prajna ); for, all these are of the nature of nescience ( Avidya ); but I am the fourth ( Turiya ), beyond these three. Therefore, I am that One, Auspicious and Pure, that alone remains."  Next - Slok
