The sum of Mantram : -
............................
That  is the  state  of  deep-sleep  wherein  the  sleeper  doesnot  desire any  objects,  nor  does  he  see  any  dream.
The  third  quarter  ( pada )  is  the  Prajna ( Consciousness )  whose  sphere  is  deep-sleep,  in  whom  all ( experiencees )  become  unified  or  undifferentiated,  who  is  verily  a  homogenous  mass  of  Consciousness  entire,  who  is  full  of  bliss,  who  is  indeed  an  enjoyer  of  bliss  and  who  is  the  gateway  for  the  projection  of  Consciousness  into  other  two  planes  of  Consciousness ---  'the  dream  and  the  waking'.

{ Request to follow very closely, the brilliancy of Upanishads - is explored here, Mantram is the TRUTH, WITH GREAT ANCIENT BHARATIYA RISHI-S BRILLIANT DECLARATIONS }

Please REALISE THE GREATNESS OF OUR NATION, DO NOT TAKE SHELTER BEHIND SECULARISM ( TO PLEASE VOTE BANKS) AND DESTROY OUR CULTURE .....

5.1
The sense-objects of the world can neither give us joy nor can give us sorrow.

It is only because of our contact with the external world and our false values, that these objects, gain any potency, if at all, in giving us any sense of joy or sorrow.

In the deep-sleep-state, since our mind is not functioning and since since our intellect is not extrovert, we are not aware of them, they cannot tantalise us or charm us away and so they cannot dole us out any mental agitation!

5.2
Hence, the Sruti describes this sheath as the blissful, the " ANANDAMAYAM".

The Paramatma ( Supreme Self ) identifying Itself with this, the deep-sleep-condition, is called as " PRAJNA".

"And, this 'Prajna' seeks its joys not in the external sense-objects as the waker does, nor inner, subtler
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
objects as the dreamer does."
-------------------------

"In the sleep condition, he enjoys a fulness of joy; because of the absence of sorrow!"
