न किञ्चिदप्यभ्युदितं स्थितं व्योमैव निर्मलम् । स्वप्ने द्रष्टरि यद्वचित् तद्वद् दृश्ये चिदेव सा ॥ ३७ ॥
na kiñcidapyabhyuditaṁ sthitaṁ vyōmaiva nirmalam | svapnē draṣṭari yadvacit tadvad dṛśyē cidēva sā || 37 ||
Translation
nothing at all has arisen; it stands as stainless space. As awareness is in the dreamer in a dream, so is it in the seen: that is awareness alone.
