योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-21, verse-33

हेम्न्यूर्मिकारूपधरेऽप्यूर्मिकात्वं न विद्यते ।
यथा तथा जगद्रूपे जगन्नास्ति च ब्रह्मणि ॥ ३३ ॥

hemnyūrmikārūpadhare'pyūrmikātvaṃ na vidyate ,
yathā tathā jagadrūpe jagannāsti ca brahmaṇi 33

33. hemni ūrmikārūpadhare api ūrmikātvaṃ na vidyate
yathā tathā jagadrūpe jagat na asti ca brahmaṇi

33. yathā hemni ūrmikārūpadhare api ūrmikātvaṃ na vidyate,
tathā ca brahmaṇi jagadrūpe jagat na asti.

33. Even when gold (heman) takes on the form of a ring (ūrmikā), the essential quality of 'ringness' (ūrmikātva) does not truly reside within it. Similarly, though appearing as the world, the world (jagat) does not inherently exist in (brahman), the ultimate reality.
