योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-6, chapter-35, verse-9

सा मूर्ता खादपि स्वच्छा सत्सत्तैवात्र कारणम् ।
विनश्यतः प्राणदेहौ वियोगान्मरुदेव च ॥ ९ ॥

sā mūrtā khādapi svacchā satsattaivātra kāraṇam ,
vinaśyataḥ prāṇadehau viyogānmarudeva ca 9

9. sā mūrtā khāt api svacchā sat-sattā eva atra
kāraṇam vinaśyataḥ prāṇa-dehau viyogāt marut eva ca

9. sā mūrtā api khāt svacchā atra sat-sattā eva
kāraṇam viyogāt prāṇa-dehau ca marut eva vinaśyataḥ

9. That (śakti/citi), though embodied, is purer even than space (ākāśa); indeed, pure existence (satsattā) itself is the cause for this. The vital breath (prāṇa) and the body both perish due to separation, as does the very air (marut).

9. תודעה זו, אף שהיא מופיעה כצורה, צלולה יותר מהחלל, והוויית הקיים הטהור היא הסיבה לכך. הגוף ונשמת החיים גוועים כאשר כוח החיים נפרד מהם.
