योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-172, verse-36

सर्वेषां परिकल्प्यानामाभासेऽप्यनवस्थितेः ।
एवं न संभवत्येव जगत्किंचित्कदाचन ॥ ३६ ॥

sarveṣāṃ parikalpyānāmābhāse'pyanavasthiteḥ ,
evaṃ na saṃbhavatyeva jagatkiṃcitkadācana 36

36. sarveṣām parikalpyānām ābhāse api anavasthiteḥ
evam na saṃbhavati eva jagat kiñcit kadācana

36. sarveṣām parikalpyānām ābhāse api anavasthiteḥ,
evam jagat kiñcit kadācana eva na saṃbhavati.

36. Since all imaginables (parikalpyas) are not stable even as mere appearances (ābhāsa), the world (jagat) simply cannot exist at all, at any time.
