योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-6, chapter-33, verse-9

तरङ्गाः सलिले येऽपि तोये शैलस्य ते समाः ।
शशश्रृङ्गसमः सोऽपि यस्य सत्यः शशाङ्कुरः ॥ ९ ॥

taraṅgāḥ salile ye'pi toye śailasya te samāḥ ,
śaśaśrṛṅgasamaḥ so'pi yasya satyaḥ śaśāṅkuraḥ 9

9. taraṅgāḥ salile ye api toye śailasya te samāḥ
śaśaśṛṅgasamaḥ saḥ api yasya satyaḥ śaśāṅkuraḥ

9. ye api taraṅgāḥ salile toye te śailasya samāḥ
yasya śaśāṅkuraḥ satyaḥ saḥ api śaśaśṛṅgasamaḥ

9. Even those waves that exist in water, being themselves water, are like a mountain's (shadow) in water (i.e., their distinct form is an appearance without separate substance). Likewise, one for whom a rabbit's sprout is real is akin to a rabbit's horn (i.e., believing in utter impossibilities).
