योगवासिष्ठः       yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-6, chapter-31, verse-10

नेति नेति न चैवार्कमण्डले रजनी यथा ।
न वस्तुतावस्तुते च तुषारे तु यथोष्णता ॥ १० ॥
neti neti na caivārkamaṇḍale rajanī yathā ,
na vastutāvastute ca tuṣāre tu yathoṣṇatā 10

na vastutā-avastute ca tuṣāre tu yathā uṣṇatā
10. iti na iti na ca eva rajanī arka-maṇḍale yathā
vastutā-avastute na ca uṣṇatā tuṣāre tu yathā
10. The ultimate reality is not describable by 'not this, not this,' just as night does not exist in the disk of the sun. And neither the state of 'being real' nor the state of 'being unreal' exist, just as warmth does not exist in snow.
