योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-30, verse-7

नेहैव तत्र नामोर्ध्वं नाधो न च गमागमाः ।
अन्यदेव पदं किंचित्तस्माद्देहागमं हि तत् ॥ ७ ॥

nehaiva tatra nāmordhvaṃ nādho na ca gamāgamāḥ ,
anyadeva padaṃ kiṃcittasmāddehāgamaṃ hi tat 7

7. na iha eva tatra na nāma ūrdhvam na adhaḥ na ca gamāgamāḥ
anyat eva padam kiṁcit tasmāt deha-agamam hi tat

7. iha eva tatra na nāma ūrdhvam na adhaḥ ca gamāgamāḥ na.
tat hi kiṁcit anyat eva padam tasmāt deha-agamam

7. Neither here nor there, not upwards, not downwards, and there are no comings or goings. That is certainly some other state (padam); therefore, it is indeed the body's state of immobility.

7. שם אין פה ואין שם, אין למעלה ואין למטה, ולא יציאה וביאה. זהו מישור מציאות שונה לחלוטין, בלתי נגיש לגוף הפיזי.
