योगवासिष्ठः       yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-5, chapter-71, verse-13

आत्मेति व्यवहारार्थमभिधा कल्पिता विभोः ।
नामरूपादिभेदस्तु दूरमस्मादलं गतः ॥ १३ ॥
ātmeti vyavahārārthamabhidhā kalpitā vibhoḥ ,
nāmarūpādibhedastu dūramasmādalaṃ gataḥ 13
13. ātman iti vyavahāra-artham abhidhā kalpitā vibhoḥ
nāma-rūpa-ādi-bhedaḥ tu dūram asmāt alam gataḥ
13. vibhoḥ vyavahāra-artham ātman iti abhidhā kalpitā
nāma-rūpa-ādi-bhedaḥ tu asmāt dūram alam gataḥ
13. The term "ātman" (self) is merely a designation (abhidhā) conceptualized for the sake of practical usage (vyavahāra) in relation to the all-pervading reality. Indeed, distinctions such as name and form have gone far beyond this (ātman).
