योगवासिष्ठः       yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-6, chapter-80, verse-29

श्रीशैले सिद्धदेशे च मेर्वादौ वा निवासतः ।
सिद्धिरित्यपि विस्तारः कृतार्थ प्रकृतार्थहा ॥ २९ ॥
śrīśaile siddhadeśe ca mervādau vā nivāsataḥ ,
siddhirityapi vistāraḥ kṛtārtha prakṛtārthahā 29
29. śrīśaile siddhadeśe ca merau ādau vā nivāsataḥ
siddhiḥ iti api vistāraḥ kṛtārthaḥ prakṛtārthahā
29. śrīśaile siddhadeśe ca merau ādau vā nivāsataḥ
siddhiḥ iti api kṛtārthaḥ vistāraḥ prakṛtārthahā
29. The idea that perfection (siddhi) is achieved merely by residing in Śrīśaila, a land of adepts (siddhadeśa), or Mount Meru and similar places—this too is an elaboration that has (perhaps already) served its purpose (kṛtārtha), yet it still detracts from the main topic.
