I am having little trouble in understanding this description of turiya in
Mandukya upanishad.

Can anybody explain the Shankara Bhashya portion for the term ?

The Bhashya says- एकात्मप्रत्ययसारं जाग्रदादिस्थानेषु एक एवायमात्मा
इत्यव्यभिचारी यः प्रत्ययः, तेनानुसरणीयम् ; अथवा, एक आत्मप्रत्ययः सारः
प्रमाणं यस्य तुरीयस्याधिगमे, तत्तुरीयमेकात्मप्रत्ययसारम्,
^^^

Can anybody translate it word for word?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Nithin
