Śiva Sūtra 2.4
गर्भे चित्तविकासो ऽविशिष्टविद्यास्वप्नः ||2.4||
In the germ [of development] (garbhe | loc sg), the unfolding of Citta (citta-vikāsaḥ | nom sg) [is] a dream of undifferentiated knowledge (aviśiṣṭa-vidyā-svapnaḥ | nom sg).
While knowledge is only beginning to awaken, Citta unfolds like a still-undifferentiated dream.
Kṣemarāja explains in the Vimarśinī: When thought remains caught in its inner birthplace, it unfolds a world of partial knowledge.
The Vārttika explains: When Citta is content with minor Siddhis, it remains in the Garbha of Mahāmāyā.

When knowledge arises naturally (vidyā-samutthāne svābhāvike | loc absl sg), [there arise] Khecarī (khecarī | nom sg) [and] the state of Śiva (śiva-avasthā | nom sg).
When knowledge arises naturally, the free inner space opens as the state of Śiva.
Kṣemarāja explains in the Vimarśinī: When pure knowledge arises by itself, awareness becomes spacious, light, and freely moving.
The Vārttika explains: When Vidyā arises naturally through Śaṅkara's will, it draws the yogin out of absorption in minor Siddhis.
