In plain words
At the still juncture between Laya—the mind sinking into blankness—and Vikṣepa, its scattering outward, the mind has nothing to feed on. Whoever has mastered that juncture is free; there is no doubt.
Close to the Sanskrit
At the junction of Laya, dissolution, and Vikṣepa, distraction, the mind is without bait. Whoever has mastered that junction is liberated; there is no doubt.
