2.2

Commentator's invocation: (1) I bow to that Brahman which after having enjoyed (during the waking state) the gross objects by pervading all the human objectives through a diffusion of Its rays of unchanging Consciousness that embraces all that moves created by virtue (and vice); which again (during the cosmic dream statefootnote{As identified with the cosmic subtle body of Hiraṇyagarbha.}) experiences through Its own light the objects of enjoyment that are called up by Its own intellect; which, further (in sound sleep or cosmic dissolution), withdraws promptly all these into Itself; and which lastly becomes free from all attributes by discarding every distinction and difference.

Swami Gambhirananda 1957, Eight Upaniṣads, with the Commentary of Śaṅkarācārya
