योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-172, verse-15

स्मृतिर्न संभवत्येव तस्मादाद्या प्रजापतेः ।
आकारवत्त्वमेवास्य शुद्धज्ञानात्मनः कुतः ॥ १५ ॥

smṛtirna saṃbhavatyeva tasmādādyā prajāpateḥ ,
ākāravattvamevāsya śuddhajñānātmanaḥ kutaḥ 15

15. smṛtiḥ na saṃbhavati eva tasmāt ādyā prajāpateḥ
ākāravattvam eva asya śuddhajñānātmanaḥ kutaḥ

15. tasmāt smṛtiḥ na eva saṃbhavati ādyā prajāpateḥ
asya śuddhajñānātmanaḥ ākāravattvam eva kutaḥ

15. Therefore, memory (smṛti) is certainly not possible for the primordial power (ādyā) associated with the creator (prajāpati). From where, then, can form (ākāravattvam) arise for this pure consciousness (ātman) itself?
