Stanzas on the Divine Pulsation 1.18

1.18
ज्ञानज्ञेयस्वरूपिण्या शक्त्या परमया युतः । पदद्वये विभुर्भाति तदन्यत्र तु चिन्मात्रः ॥१८॥
jñāna-jñeya-svarūpiṇyā śaktyā paramayā yutaḥ | pada-dvaye vibhur bhāti tad-anyatra tu cin-mātraḥ ||
anuṣṭubh
— having the form of knowledge and the known ; — with the supreme Power ; — joined, conjoined ; — in the two states (waking and dream) ; — the all-pervading ; — shines, appears ; — elsewhere than that (i.e. in suṣupti, turīya) ; — but ; — pure Consciousness alone

In the two states (waking and dream), the all-pervading Lord shines forth united with his supreme Power whose form is knowledge and the known; elsewhere (in deep sleep) he abides as pure Consciousness alone.
