(Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu: 2.4.176)
“Sleep (nidrā) wherein there are variegated bhāvas constituted of experience of various objects shall be [called] supti [i.e., light sleep, or, dreaming]. It is a cause of inactivity of the senses, heavy breathing, shutting the eyes, and so forth.”
nidrāyā evāvasthā-viśeṣe saṁjñāntaram āha—suptir iti | … nidrāyāṁ kevalaṁ śrī-kṛṣṇasyaiva sphūrtiḥ, suptau ca līlādi-sahitasya sphūrtir iti bhedo jñeyaḥ |
(Excerpt from the Bhakti-sāra-pradarśinī-ṭīkā)
“The author states another definition of a particular state of sleep (nidrā) in this verse (suptir …). … In sleep (nidrā) there is only a manifestation (sphūrti) of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and in supti there is a manifestation (sphūrti) [of Śrī Kṛṣṇa] along with [his] līlā and so forth. This distinction is to be understood.”
