। ॥ ९६९ ॥
In plain words
He who remains fully awake even within the depths of sleep, for whom the ordinary waking state of illusion has vanished, and whose clear awareness is free from all latent desires—he is known as one liberated while alive.
Close to the Sanskrit
Who is awake situated in deep sleep, whose waking state does not exist, whose knowledge is devoid of mental impressions, he is said to be liberated while living.
