Mundaka and Mandukya Upanishads (Swami Sharvananda)
Sanskrit: एकीभूतः
Transliteration: Ekī-Bhūtaḥ
Translation: "unified"
Definition: "i.e., where the consciousness is not identified with any kind of precept or concept or memory, but remains in its own single unmixed state; this state of subconsciousness or unconsciousness where Tamas predominates is compared to night. As all objects being covered under the pall of gloom in the night appear as if united and the world appears as if undifferentiated existence, so in the deep sleep, the mind is completely enveloped in Tamas and assumes an undifferentiated existence although holding the unmanifested germs of infinite differentiation of the awakened state and dreaming state."
The Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad (Swami Krishnananda)
Transliteration: Ekībhūtah
Commentary: "The third foot of the Ātman, the third phase of its analysis, is deep sleep, where all perceptions and cognition converge into a single mode of the mind – Ekībhūtah."
