योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-94, verse-10

अविप्रकृष्टजन्मापि सोच्यते कृतबुद्धिभिः ।
सा हि तन्मृतिमात्रेण मोक्षयोग्या मुमुक्षुभिः ॥ १० ॥

aviprakṛṣṭajanmāpi socyate kṛtabuddhibhiḥ ,
sā hi tanmṛtimātreṇa mokṣayogyā mumukṣubhiḥ 10

10. aviprakṛṣṭa-janmā api saḥ ucyate kṛta-buddhibhiḥ
sā hi tat-mṛti-mātreṇa mokṣa-yogyā mumukṣubhiḥ

10. api aviprakṛṣṭa-janmā saḥ kṛta-buddhibhiḥ ucyate hi
sā mumukṣubhiḥ tat-mṛti-mātreṇa mokṣa-yogyā [bhavati]

10. Even a person whose birth (janman) is not far-removed [from liberation] is designated by those with cultivated intellect (kṛta-buddhi) [as highly aware]. Indeed, that very origin (utpatti) is considered suitable for final liberation (mokṣa) by seekers of liberation (mumukṣu), merely through the death of their current body.

10. גם מי שנולד בגלגולים קרובים נקרא כך בפי החכמים; שכן מיד עם תום אותו הגלגול, הוא ראוי לשחרור עבור מבקשי הגאולה.
