Commentary (टीका)

The verse elegantly describes the state of deep sleep (*suṣupti*). In this state, all forms of perception (*pramiti*) are at rest, and the mind (*buddhi*) exists only in its potential or seed form (*bījātmanā*). There is a marked absence of active knowledge, conveyed by the universally recognized feeling of "knowing nothing" (*na vedmi*), which stands as a global truth (*jagat-prasiddha*). This sloka highlights the natural ebbing of conscious activity and enlightenment through unmanifested awareness, pointing towards the intrinsic calmness (*praśānti*) that characterizes deep sleep and the latent potential that remains in a tranquil state during this phase. Such a perspective is deeply intertwined with *Vedantic* and philosophical discourses on the nature of consciousness and identity beyond wakeful experiences.
