Verse 6.44.33

चित्तं सत्त्वं समायातं किंचित्कालं जगत्स्थितौ ।
विहृत्य तुर्यावस्थायां तुर्यातीतं भवत्यतः ॥ ३३ ॥

cittaṃ sattvaṃ samāyātaṃ kiṃcitkālaṃ jagatsthitau |
vihṛtya turyāvasthāyāṃ turyātītaṃ bhavatyataḥ || 33 ||

The mind has its being for a short time only, during its continuance in the world; but after it has passed its fourth stage of insensibility, it arrives to the state of comatosity which is beyond the fourth stage.
