योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-9, verse-29

एतत्त्रिलोकतां यातं ब्रह्मेत्युक्तार्थधीः कुतः ।
तस्मान्नो संभवत्येषा जगच्छब्दार्थकल्पना ॥ २९ ॥

etattrilokatāṃ yātaṃ brahmetyuktārthadhīḥ kutaḥ ,
tasmānno saṃbhavatyeṣā jagacchabdārthakalpanā 29

29. etat trilokatām yātam brahma iti uktārthadhīḥ kutaḥ
tasmāt na u saṃbhavati eṣā jagatśabdārthakalpanā

29. etat brahma trilokatām yātam,
(tarhi) iti uktārthadhīḥ kutaḥ (syāt)? tasmāt eṣā jagatśabdārthakalpanā na u saṃbhavati.

29. If this (Brahman) has become the three worlds, how can the intellect perceive it as merely (pure) Brahman? Therefore, this conceptualization of the word 'world' (jagat) as referring to something distinct (from Brahman) is not possible.
