16.5.1

vidmá te svapna janítraṃ grā́hyāḥ putró 'si yamásya káraṇaḥ |
ántako 'si mr̥tyúr asi |
táṃ tvā svapna táthā sáṃ vidma sá naḥ svapna duṣvápnyāt pāhi ||1||

⌊1.⌋ We know thy place of birth (janítra), O sleep; thou art son of seizure (grā́hi), agent of Yama; ⌊2.⌋ ender art thou, death art thou; ⌊3.⌋ so, O sleep, do we comprehend thee here; do thou, O sleep, protect us from evil-dreaming.
