4.4.1
sa yatrāyamātmābalyaṃ nyetya saṃmohamiva nyetyathainamete prāṇā abhisamāyanti sa etāstejomātrāḥ samabhyādadāno hṛdayamevānvavakrāmati sa yatraiṣa cākṣuṣaḥpuruṣaḥ parāṅparyāvartate'thārūpajño bhavati
When this self becomes weak and senseless, as it were, the organs come to it. Completely withdrawing these particles of light, it comes to the heart. When the presiding deity of the eye turns back from all sides, the man fails to notice colour.
