योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-6, chapter-42, verse-14

स्वयं च सदसद्रूपा लीयन्ते स्वप्नशैलवत् ।
सर्गैर्न देश आक्रान्तो न च कालो न कर्तृता ॥ १४ ॥

svayaṃ ca sadasadrūpā līyante svapnaśailavat ,
sargairna deśa ākrānto na ca kālo na kartṛtā 14

14. svayam ca sat-asat-rūpāḥ līyante svapna-śaila-vat |
sargaiḥ na deśaḥ ākrāntaḥ na ca kālaḥ na kartṛtā ||

14. sat-asat-rūpāḥ svayam ca svapna-śaila-vat līyante sargaiḥ deśaḥ na ākrāntaḥ,
ca kālaḥ na,
ca kartṛtā na

14. The creations themselves, appearing as both existent and non-existent, dissolve just like a mountain in a dream. Space is not occupied by these creations, nor is time, nor is there any real agency (kartṛtā).

14. כשהן נושאות אופי של ממשות וכזב כאחד, הבריאות מתפוגגות כמו הרים שנראו בחלום. אין הן תופסות מקום, אין בהן זמן אמיתי ואין בהן פועל ממשי.
