4.31.16

etat padaṃ taj jagad-ātmanaḥ paraṃ sakṛd vibhātaṃ savitur yathā prabhā /
yathāsavo jāgrati supta-śaktayo dravya-kriyā-jñāna-bhidā-bhramātyayaḥ //

16. This (Universe) is that absolute essence of Vishnu; it is but once (sometimes) manifest like the light of the sun and like the senses of the wakeful man which become dormant during sleep; and

it is Hari that destroys matter, action, thought, and the misapprehensions of difference, (or like the senses whose powers become dormant during sleep, when the destruction of matter, etc., takes place.)

V. Translate. This world in our experience is the abode of Paramatman. It is but once so perceived (during its gross existence after creation) like the light of the sun and when the universe is destroyed it becomes too subtle to be perceived; just as the senses are now active and now inactive; the latter state of imperceptibility arises during the state of sleep when the illusions regarding the various organs of sense and action cease to be.

D. Read 'yada' for 'yatha' in the latter half. Translate:— When the Jiva has a large store of merits, when the breaths (the senses) cease to do their function (externally), become internally active and awaken the light of wisdom in the Jiva and when the illusions of mistaking the body for the intelligent being, of thinking himself to be an independent agent and of thinking himself to be the sole master of the senses are at an end, this subtle and supreme nature of Paramatman (Hari) for once begins to dawn upon the Jiva like unto the lustre of the Sun.

To translate again:— This very universe wherein Hari abides and which Hari has created is quite a distinct thing and does not condition Him; (the only relation between them is that of the support and the supporter or rather that of the fanciful forms appearing in the air and the sky): Hari's essence is nothing but wisdom brilliant like the sun's light; and His knowledge puts an end to all the illusions regarding the body, one's own powers, etc.
