Verse 218

स वा एष एतस्मिन्संप्रसादे रत्वा च-रित्वा दृष्ट्वैव पुण्यं च पापं च ।पुनः प्रति-न्यायं प्रतियोन्याद्रवति स्वप्नायैव स य-त्तत्र किंचित्पश्यत्यनन्वागतस्तेन भव-त्यसङ्गो ह्ययं पुरुष इत्येवमेवैतद्याज्ञवल्क्यसोऽहं भगवते सहस्रं ददाम्यत ऊर्ध्वंविमोक्षायैव ब्रूहीति ॥ १५ ॥

In plain words

This very self, having taken his fill of delight in that deep calm, having wandered there, having only watched — never actually done — the good and the bad, runs back again the same way he came, straight to the dream. And whatever he happens to see there leaves no trace on him, because by nature this person is never attached to anything. Exactly so, Yājñavalkya! I give you a thousand cows, teacher — now speak to me of nothing but liberation, said Janaka.

Close to the Sanskrit

He indeed, this one, in this state of perfect calm, having taken his enjoyment, having roamed about, having only seen — never done — good and evil, again, by the reversed rule, by the path back to his source, runs indeed to the dream-state. Whatever he sees there, by that he is not followed; for this person is unattached. Just so is this, O Yājñavalkya. I give a thousand to the venerable one; from here onward speak only of liberation, said Janaka.
