The second foot: sleep with dreams.
The description is almost the same as the first's, and deliberately so: the same seven limbs, the same nineteen gates. The difference is in two words.
Instead of “cognising the outer” — antaḥ-prajña, “cognising the inner”. Instead of “enjoying the gross” — pravivikta-bhuk, “enjoying the separated, the refined”.
The instruments are the same and work the same; what has changed is only that from which they take their stuff. Awake — from the world; in dream — from memory.
The name Taijasa is “the luminous”, from tejas, “light”. It is so called because in dream a man shines for himself: there is no sun there, yet one sees.
This argument is adduced constantly in the Upaniṣads and serves what the whole Māṇḍūkya moves toward: if a man can see without light, the light in him is his own.
