या निशा सर्वभूतानां तस्यां जागर्ति संयमी। यस्यां जाग्रति भूतानि सा निशा पश्यतो मुनेः

yā niśhā sarva-bhūtānāṁ tasyāṁ jāgarti sanyamī yasyāṁ jāgrati bhūtāni sā niśhā paśhyato muneḥ

The saint is awake when the world sleeps, and he disregards that for which the world lives.

Translated by Shri Purohit Swami

That which is night to all beings, in that the self-controlled man is awake; when all beings are awake, that is night for the sage who sees.
