3 peetvaa sarvaan-visheshaan, swapiti madhura-bhung, maayayaa bhojayan nah;  =  That Praajna, having drunk all varieties of objects, then in the deep sleep state enjoys pure Bliss, all the while through Maya being shielded from us;

4 maayaa-samkhyaa-tureeyam,  param-amritam-ajam, brahma yat-tannatosmi.  =  That “Fourth”, as termed from Maya’s viewpoint, is supreme, immortal and birthless – to That Brahman do I bow down!
