In plain words
"He who moves about, exalted in the dream state—this is the Self," said Prajāpati. "This is the immortal, the fearless, this is Brahman." Indra departed with a peaceful heart. But even before reaching the company of the gods, he perceived a flaw in this view: even if the physical body becomes blind, the dream-self is not blind; if the body is lame, it is not lame. Yet, does this dream-self remain entirely untouched by the body's defects?
Close to the Sanskrit
"He who moving about in dream enjoys greatness, this is the Self," thus he spoke; "this is the immortal, the fearless, this is Brahman." He with a peaceful heart departed. Even before reaching the gods he saw this fear: if this body becomes blind, not blind is he; if lame, not lame; nor indeed does this one become tainted by the defect of this [body].
