वेदान्त पारिजात सौरभ (भगवद् निम्बार्काचार्य - द्वैताद्वैत वेदान्त ब्रह्मसूत्र भाष्य सटीक)

[sū. 3. 2 8. 518 VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA ADH 2.] importance—He is like a bed, and as such He alone is the immediate place of deep sleep,—this is the resultant meaning ¹ SŪTRA 8 "HENCE THE AWAKENING FROM HIM" Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha For that very reason, the soul rises from the Supreme Lord, as declared by the scriptural passage: "Having come back from the Existent" (Chānd 6 10.2 ²) Vedānta-kaustubha None but the Supreme Soul is the place where souls rest during deep sleep "Hence," i.e. for this reason, "the awakening", i.e. their re-attaining the place (or the condition) of waking, "from him", i.e. from the Supreme Soul alone, fits in, in accordance with the statement · "Having come back from the Existent, they do not know: 'We have come back from the Existent'" (Chānd. 6.10 2). If anyone else be the place of the soul's deep sleep, then the text: "Having come from the Existent" (Chānd 6 10.2) will be contradicted. The sense is that it is not possible for the soul to lie down in one place and arise from another. Hence it is established that Brahman is the place of deep sleep. Here ends the section entitled "The absence of that" (2). 1 I.e. a man sleeping on a bed is at the same time sleeping on the bedstead and within the house. As such the bed, the bedstead and the house are his places of sleep conjointly, yet his immediate place of sleep is the bed In the very same manner the vein, the pericardium and Brahman are the places of the soul's deep sleep, yet Brahman is the immediate place. 2 Ś, R, ŚK, B.
