The analysis of the three states begins, and the first is waking.
The verse's opening ties it to those before: sa eva — “he too, the same one”. The very one just called Brahmā, Viṣṇu and all the rest — is the one who eats and drinks.
But the defining word is added: māyā-parimohitātmā — “his self bewildered by māyā”.
Here one must read carefully, for at this point the schools part ways.
One reading: there is no difference at all, and the seeming difference is delusion. The other, held by the Vaiṣṇava Vedānta: what is bewildered is not the Highest but the jīva, one in essence with Him; “he too” is said of oneness of nature, not of person.
The book itself speaks for the second. The eighth verse called Him “the witness of all, beyond the darkness”; here the subject is one covered by darkness. The witness and the covered are not one.
Note the list of delights: woman, food, drink. The book neither scolds them nor lingers over them; it only observes that satisfaction in them belongs to waking.
Paritṛpti — “full satisfaction”. The word is chosen exactly: it happens; and it ends.
