भुङ्क्ते विचित्रास्वपि योनिषु व्रजन् । नायाति निर्यात्यध ऊर्ध्वमेषः । अस्यैव विज्ञानमयस्य जाग्रत्- । स्वप्नाद्यवस्थाः सुखदुःखभोगः ॥

Going through many kinds of birth, it experiences; it comes and goes, up and down. Waking, dream and the other states, and the experience of pleasure and pain, belong to this intellect-sheath alone.
अनेक प्रकार की योनियों में जाता हुआ यह भोगता है, आता है, जाता है, ऊपर-नीचे होता है। जाग्रत, स्वप्न आदि अवस्थाएँ और सुख-दुःख का भोग इसी विज्ञानमय कोश के हैं।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
Ups and downs, good days and bad, belong to the thinking self that rides them. Underneath, the awareness that knows them is not lifted or sunk by them.
उतार-चढ़ाव, अच्छे-बुरे दिन, उस सोचने वाले 'मैं' के हैं जो उन पर सवार है। उसके नीचे, उन्हें जानने वाली चेतना उनसे न उठती है न डूबती है।
In the Vivekachudamani, attributed to Shankaracharya, the guru continues: this soul wanders through births and it is to the intellect-sheath that waking, dream, pleasure and pain belong.
