Suutra 9:
svaapyayaat (ablative singular of:)
svapyaya [?typo: sva+apyaya > svaapyaya] m. turning into one's self
(as an explanation of {svapna}) S3Br. Ba1dar.
Swami's translation:
On account of (the individual) merging in its own Self (the Self
cannot be the Pradhana).
His comment (in part):
With reference to the cause denoted by the word 'Sat' the Sruti says,
"When a man sleeps here, then my child, he becomes united with the
Sat, he is gone to his own self. Therefore they say of him 'he sleeps'
(Svapiti) because he is gone to his own (Svam Apita) Chh. Up. VI-8-1.
>From the fact that the individual soul merges in the universal soul in
deep sleep, it is understood that the Self, which is described in the
Sruti as the ultimate Reality, the cause of the world is not Pradhana.
