योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-41, verse-67

परिज्ञाते मृगजले पुनर्जलमतिः कुतः ।
स्वप्नकाले परिज्ञाते स्वे स्वप्नमरणं कुतः ।
स्वस्वप्ने स्वप्नमृतिभीरमृतस्यैव जायते ॥ ६७ ॥

parijñāte mṛgajale punarjalamatiḥ kutaḥ ,
svapnakāle parijñāte sve svapnamaraṇaṃ kutaḥ ,
svasvapne svapnamṛtibhīramṛtasyaiva jāyate 67

67. parijñāte mṛgajale punaḥ jalamatiḥ
kutaḥ svapnakāle parijñāte sve
svapna-maraṇam kutaḥ sva-svapne
svapna-mṛti-bhīḥ amṛtasya eva jāyate

67. mṛgajale parijñāte (sati),
punaḥ jalamatiḥ kutaḥ (syāt)? sve svapnakāle parijñāte (sati),
svapna-maraṇam kutaḥ (syāt)? svasvapne amṛtasya eva svapna-mṛti-bhīḥ jāyate.

67. Once a mirage (mṛgajale) is fully known, from where can the perception of water (jalamatiḥ) arise again? When one's own dream state (svapnakāle) is understood, from where can death within that dream (svapnamaraṇaṃ) arise? Indeed, the fear of death in one's own dream (svapnamṛtibhiḥ) arises only for the immortal (amṛtasya eva).
