योगवासिष्ठः       yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-143, verse-11

यथा प्राक्कर्म पुंस्त्वे च स्वप्ने पुंसां न विद्यते ।
इह जाग्रत्स्वप्ननृणां भातानामपि नो तथा ॥ ११ ॥
yathā prākkarma puṃstve ca svapne puṃsāṃ na vidyate ,
iha jāgratsvapnanṛṇāṃ bhātānāmapi no tathā 11
11. yathā prākkarma puṃstve ca svapne puṃsām na vidyate
| iha jāgratsvapnanṛṇām bhātānām api no tathā
11. yathā puṃsām prākkarma puṃstve ca svapne na vidyate,
iha jāgratsvapnanṛṇām bhātānām api tathā na (vidyate)
11. Just as for individuals in a dream, their past actions (prākkarma) do not exist, whether within their perceived male identity (puṃstva) or within the dream state itself; similarly, here, for people who manifest in what is considered the waking state (likened to a dream), such past (karma) is also unreal.
