What are the three states? They are the waking, dream and deep sleep states. jāgrad avasthā – The waking state 15. जाग्रदवस्था का ? श्रोत्रादिज्ञानेन्द्रियैः शब्दादिविषयैश्च ज्ञायते इति यत् सा जाग्रदावस्था । स्थूल शरीराभिमानी आत्मा विश्व इत्युच्यते । jāgradavasthā kā ? śrotrādijñānendriyaiḥ śabdādiviṣayaiśca jñāyate iti yat sā jāgradāvasthā . sthūla śarīrābhimānī ātmā viśva ityucyate .
