Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

सोच्छ्वासैर्निःश्वासैर्मन्दाक्षिनिमीलनेन निश्चेष्टः ।
सर्वेन्द्रियसम्मोहात्सुप्तं स्वप्नैश्च युञ्जीत
socchvāsairniḥśvāsairmandākṣinimīlanena niśceṣṭaḥ |
sarvendriyasammohātsuptaṃ svapnaiśca yuñjīta

The line

With rising breaths and outgoing breaths, with a slow closing of the eyes, motionless, from the delusion of every sense: one should join dreaming-sleep with dreams.

नेपालीमा

उठ्ने श्वास र निस्कने श्वाससँग, आँखा बिस्तारै बन्द गरेर, निश्चल रही, सबै इन्द्रियको मोहबाट स्वप्ननिद्रालाई सपनासँग जोड्नुपर्छ।
