योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-81, verse-69

कटकत्वावभासे हि यथा हेम्नो न हेमता ।
सत्येव प्रकचत्येवं द्रष्ट्टदृश्यस्थितौ वपुः ॥ ६९ ॥

kaṭakatvāvabhāse hi yathā hemno na hematā ,
satyeva prakacatyevaṃ draṣṭṭadṛśyasthitau vapuḥ 69

69. kaṭakatvāva-bhāse hi yathā hemnaḥ na hematā sati
eva prakacati evam draṣṭṛdṛśyasthitau vapuḥ

69. yathā hi kaṭakatvāva-bhāse hemnaḥ hematā na,
evam draṣṭṛdṛśyasthitau sati eva vapuḥ prakacati

69. Indeed, just as the essential nature of gold (hematā) is not truly perceived when it appears as a bracelet, similarly, the physical form (vapuḥ) manifests in the state where the seer (draṣṭṛ) and the seen (dṛśya) exist.
