In plain words

But when that nescience which conjures up a second thing has gone quiet in deep sleep, there is nothing left for anyone to see, smell, or know, because the very entity it used to mark off as 'other' is simply not there. So the sleeper rests held only by his own self -- the self whose very nature is light needing no other light. He is whole, utterly at peace, his every desire already fulfilled, wanting nothing but himself, settled the way water settles into water. He is one, because there is no second. A second only ever appears through nescience -- and nescience has now fallen silent --

Close to the Sanskrit

But where, in deep sleep, that nescience which presents another entity is at rest, then, because of the absence of any entity that nescience has marked off as different, by whom would what be seen, smelled, or known? Therefore, embraced wholly by his own self alone -- the wise self, whose nature is self-luminous light -- he is entire, perfectly serene, one whose desires are attained, one whose only desire is the Self, become clear like water: water as it were meeting water, one, because of the absence of a second; for it is by nescience alone that a second is ever marked off; and that nescience is now at rest --
