Translation
Dream is the distinguishing state for the subtle body. The subtle body alone remains and shines in dream. The intellect assumes the role of being the doer (the enjoyer) etc., because of the variety of latent predispositions of the waking state. (In reality) the Supreme Atman shines by itself in the dream.
Annotation
1) In the waking state both the subtle body and the gross body are active. They both resolve in deep sleep. Hence dream state is the distinguishing state for the subtle body. In this dream state this alone shines. 2) “Shines by itself” – means that without depending on any other means it creates the dream world by the latent predispositions and assumes the role of doer, the enjoyer etc., 3) Self–luminous nature always exists in Atman but it is clearly demonstrated in the dream state. There is no object for illumination in deep sleep therefore, the self–luminous nature cannot be distinguished and shown. In the waking state the sense organs and mind, though reflecting the consciousness of Atman, appear as the doer and hence the self–luminous nature of Atman cannot be easily known (Jagadguru).
