Chānd-Mül, 1879-841. EIGHTH KHANDA
Uddalaka Aruni said to his son Svetaketu: 'Learn from me the true nature of sleep (svapna).
When a man sleeps here, then, my dear son, he becomes united with the True, he is gone to his own (Self). Therefore they say, svapiti, he sleeps, because he is gone (apita) to his own (sva).
