Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam · Texts 10.84.24-25
यथा शयान: पुरुष आत्मानं गुणतत्त्वदृक् ।
नाममात्रेन्द्रियाभातं न वेद रहितं परम् ॥ २४ ॥
एवं त्वा नाममात्रेषु विषयेष्विन्द्रियेहया ।
मायया विभ्रमच्चित्तो न वेद स्मृत्युपप्लवात् ॥ २५ ॥
yathā śayānaḥ puruṣa
ātmānaṁ guṇa-tattva-dṛk
nāma-mātrendriyābhātaṁ
na veda rahitaṁ param
evaṁ tvā nāma-mātreṣu
viṣayeṣv indriyehayā
māyayā vibhramac-citto
na veda smṛty-upaplavāt
A sleeping person imagines an alternative reality for himself and, seeing himself as having various names and forms, forgets his waking identity, which is distinct from the dream. Similarly, the senses of one whose consciousness is bewildered by illusion perceive only the names and forms of material objects. Thus such a person loses his memory and cannot know You.
