योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-191, verse-7

तस्माद्द्रष्टास्ति नो दृश्यं नैवास्तीदमनामयम् ।
चित्प्रभैवात्मना भित्तिर्भवत्याभासनं तथा ॥ ७ ॥

tasmāddraṣṭāsti no dṛśyaṃ naivāstīdamanāmayam ,
citprabhaivātmanā bhittirbhavatyābhāsanaṃ tathā 7

7. tasmāt draṣṭā asti no dṛśyam na eva asti idam anāmayam
citprabhā eva ātmanā bhittiḥ bhavati ābhāsanam tathā

7. tasmāt draṣṭā asti.
dṛśyam no asti eva,
idam (ca) anāmayam na (asti).
citprabhā eva ātmanā bhittiḥ tathā ābhāsanam bhavati.

7. Therefore, the seer (draṣṭā) exists, but the seen (dṛśya) does not exist at all; indeed, this [seen world] is not undefiled. The very effulgence of consciousness (citprabhā), by its own self (ātman), becomes both the substrate and the manifestation, just as before.
