tadyathā mahāmatsya ubhe kūle'nusaṃcarati pūrvaṃ cāparaṃ caivamevāyaṃ puruṣa etāvubhāvantāvanusaṃcarati svapnāntaṃ ca buddhāntaṃ ca
As a great fish swims alternately to both the banks (of a river), eastern and western, so does this infinite being move to both these states, the dream and waking states.
