		Ajatasatru said: "When this being full of consciousness (vijnana maya) is thus asleep, it absorbs, at that time, the functions of the organs through its own consciousness and rests in the Supreme Self (akasa) that is in the heart.

	A Progressive Definition of Brahman
		Ajatasatru said: "Do you know this person was sleeping and would not get up when I called him by the name of the Prana which is the reality, as you have mentioned to me? But when I shook him, he woke.
		It suggests why Ajatasatru felt the need to go to a sleeping man, rather than to a waking individual for the purpose of citing an example in instruction, the reason being that in the waking state the self is entangled in object-consciousness whereas in sleep it is withdrawn into itself.
		Ajatasatru says that the self is withdrawn in sleep.

		The councils tend to explain the formalization of the Buddhist doctrine, and the various subsequent schisms inside the Buddhist movement.
		The first Buddhist council was held soon after the death of the Buddha under the patronage of king Ajatasatru of the Magadha empire, and presided by a monk named Mahakasyapa, at Rajagriha (today's Rajgir).
		The objective of the council was to record the Buddha's sayings (sutra) and codify monastic rules (vinaya): Ananda, one of the Buddha's main disciples and his cousin, was called upon to recite the discourses of the Buddha, and Upali, another disciple, recited the rules of the vinaya.

	MantraOnNet.com: The Upanishads - Introduction
		Most scholars think that this is not the same as the Ajatasatru (Pali Ajatasattu) of Magadha, mentioned as a contemporary of the Buddha and MahavTra; though the Magadhan king is actually said to have became the ruler of Kashi in later life, when he conquered the states of the Vajjian confederacy.
		Though both are shown debating with religious teachers, the motive of the Ajatasatru of the Buddhist texts is a search for peace of mind, to allay his mental torment over the dynastic murder of his father.
		Ajatasatru rejects each of these visualizations, not as wrong, since each is said to bring great benefits to the one who practises it, but as being inadequate as a way of understanding brahman:

		In the time of Buddha, Kasi was under the control of Bimbisara and his son Ajatasatru; the small territory of Käsi had come to the Magadhan monarch as a dowry and Ajatasatru inherited his father's kingdom.
		There is no reason to think that the Upanishadic Ajatasatru of Kasi was different from the Magadhan Ajatasatru known to Buddhist and Jaina literature.
		Brahmadatta was the generic or family name of the rulers of Kasi (Varanasi).[33] King Ajatasatru, a contemporary of the Buddha, is called Vedehaputta as well as a Kasva (of Kasi); this is because his mother came from Videha and his step-mother came from Kasi.
