योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-110, verse-59

देशकालाभिधानेन राम संकल्प एव हि ।
कथ्यते तद्वशाद्यस्माद्देशकालौ स्थितिं गतौ ॥ ५९ ॥

deśakālābhidhānena rāma saṃkalpa eva hi ,
kathyate tadvaśādyasmāddeśakālau sthitiṃ gatau 59

59. deśakālābhidhānena rāma saṅkalpaḥ eva hi | kathyate
tadvaśāt yasmāt deśakālau sthitim gatau ||

59. rāma,
deśakālābhidhānena saṅkalpaḥ eva hi kathyate yasmāt tadvaśāt deśakālau sthitim gatau

59. O Rama, by the very designation (abhidhānena) of "space and time" (deśakāla), what is being referred to (kathyate) is indeed (eva hi) a mental construct (saṅkalpa). This is because (yasmāt) it is due to the power (vaśāt) of that (saṅkalpa) that space and time (deśakālau) attain (gatau) their existence (sthitim).

59. דע, רָאמָה, כי מה שמכונה מקום וזמן אינו אלא סַנְקַלְפַּה (כוונה מחשבתית), שכן המקום והזמן קיימים ומתנהלים כולם תחת שליטתה.
