जीवाकारा कला काचिच्चितिः स्वच्छतयात्मनि ।
दशामायाति सौषुप्तिं सौम्यवातां विचेतनाम् ॥ २४ ॥

jīvākārā kalā kāciccitiḥ svacchatayātmani |
daśāmāyāti sauṣuptiṃ saumyavātāṃ vicetanām || 24 ||

The particle of intellect taking the form of life, after being purified from its earthly impurity; mixes with the internal soul, and attains the state of sound sleep, as if lulled to insensibility by the cooling breeze.
