अर्थMeaning
'And as a falcon, or any other (swift) bird, after he has roamed about here in the air, becomes tired, and folding his wings is carried to his nest, so does that person hasten to that state where, when asleep, he desires no more desires, and dreams no more dreams.

व्याख्याVyakhya
'जैसे इस आकाश में बाज़ या कोई (वेगवान्) पक्षी इधर-उधर उड़कर थक जाने पर पंख समेटकर (अपने) घोंसले की ओर ही जाता है, वैसे ही यह पुरुष उस अवस्था की ओर दौड़ता है जहाँ सोया हुआ वह न किसी कामना की कामना करता है, न कोई स्वप्न देखता है।'
