योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-6, chapter-42, verse-29

अनुभवकलनामृतेऽस्य माता भवति न सर्वविकल्पनेष्वसत्सु ।
फलदुरुविभवा प्रमाणमाला स्थितिमुपयाति न वारिणीव वह्निः ॥ २९ ॥

anubhavakalanāmṛte'sya mātā bhavati na sarvavikalpaneṣvasatsu ,
phaladuruvibhavā pramāṇamālā sthitimupayāti na vāriṇīva vahniḥ 29

29. anubhavakalanām ṛte asya mātā
bhavati na sarvavikalpaneṣu asatsu
phaladuruvibhavā pramāṇamālā
sthitim upayāti na vāriṇī iva vahniḥ

29. asya mātā anubhavakalanām ṛte
sarvavikalpaneṣu asatsu na bhavati
phaladuruvibhavā pramāṇamālā
vāriṇī iva vahniḥ na sthitim upayāti

29. The ultimate source (mātā) of this (reality) does not exist, when all mental constructs (vikalpa) are unreal, apart from the conceptualization of direct experience (anubhava). A series of proofs (pramāṇa), even if possessing mighty significance (vibhava), does not attain stability, just as fire (vahni) cannot exist in water.
