योगवासिष्ठः       yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-6, chapter-34, verse-21

एषा दृक्चेत्यवलनादनामार्थापदं गता ।
ब्रह्मात्मेत्यादिशब्दार्थादतीतोदेति केवला ॥ २१ ॥
eṣā dṛkcetyavalanādanāmārthāpadaṃ gatā ,
brahmātmetyādiśabdārthādatītodeti kevalā 21
21. eṣā dṛk-cetya-avalanāt anāmārthāpadam gatā brahma
ātman iti ādi śabda arthāt atīta udeti kevalā
21. eṣā dṛk-cetya-avalanāt anāmārthāpadam gatā kevalā
brahma ātman iti ādi śabda arthāt atīta udeti
21. This (third level) reaches a state beyond name and meaning (anāmārthāpada), arising from the apprehension of both pure consciousness (dṛk) and its objects (cetya). The pure (kevalā) reality then emerges, transcending the meanings of words such as 'Brahman' and 'Ātman'.
