योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-173, verse-27

सर्गः स्वप्नः स्वप्न एव जाग्रद्देहः स एव च ।
घनं सुषुप्तं तैमिर्याद्यथा संवेदनं भवेत् ॥ २७ ॥

sargaḥ svapnaḥ svapna eva jāgraddehaḥ sa eva ca ,
ghanaṃ suṣuptaṃ taimiryādyathā saṃvedanaṃ bhavet 27

27. sargaḥ svapnaḥ svapnaḥ eva jāgrat-dehaḥ saḥ eva ca
ghanam suṣuptam taimiryāt yathā saṃvedanam bhavet

27. sargaḥ svapnaḥ (asti).
jāgrat-dehaḥ saḥ eva ca svapnaḥ (asti).
yathā taimiryāt saṃvedanam bhavet,
(tathā) ghanam suṣuptam (api bhavet).

27. Creation (sarga) is a dream, and the waking body is likewise merely that (a dream). Profound deep sleep (suṣuptam) arises from ignorance, just as perception (saṃvedanam) does.

27. הבריאה היא חלום, והגוף בעת ערות הוא אותו חלום ממש; שינה עמוקה היא כעיוורון שדרכו נוצרת התפיסה.
