Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Uddâlaka Âruni 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, svapit|i, he sleeps, because he is gone (apîta) to his own (sva).
