योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-60, verse-26

विष्णोर्यज्जीवितं राम तद्वृषाङ्कस्य वासरः ।
ध्यानप्रक्षीणचित्तस्य न दिनानि न रात्रयः ॥ २६ ॥

viṣṇoryajjīvitaṃ rāma tadvṛṣāṅkasya vāsaraḥ ,
dhyānaprakṣīṇacittasya na dināni na rātrayaḥ 26

26. viṣṇoḥ yat jīvitam rāma tat vṛṣāṅkasya vāsaraḥ |
dhyāna prakṣīṇa cittasya na dināni na rātrayaḥ ||

26. rāma viṣṇoḥ yat jīvitam tat vṛṣāṅkasya vāsaraḥ
dhyānaprakṣīṇacittasya na dināni na rātrayaḥ

26. O Rama, what is considered the lifespan of Viṣṇu is merely a single day for Śiva (Vṛṣāṅka). For one whose mind is completely absorbed and diminished by deep meditation (dhyāna), there are neither days nor nights.

26. מה שהינו חייו השלמים של וִישְׁנּוּ, רָאמָה, הוא רק יום אחד עבור שִׁיוָוה; ואילו עבור מי שמחשבותיו התפוגגו במדיטציה, אין עוד ימים ואין לילות.
