Sanskrit Text

अष्टौ षष्टिं शतानि यानि; मनोविरुद्धानि महाद्युतीनाम् शुक्लस्य वर्णस्य परा गतिर्या; त्रीण्येव रुद्धानि महानुभाव

English Translation

Know that the Eight which are identical with the Sixty hundreds, are to those who are highly effulgent, only creations of the mind. The highest, object of acquisition with one who is of White colour, is that condition which is above the three other states of consciousness, viz., Wakefulness and Dream and Dreamless sleep.
