योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-210, verse-8

यथेन्दुत्वं स्वसंकल्पात्सर्वध्यातुः पृथक्पृथक् ।
भात्येवमेव वनितालाभः काल्पनिकः स्वतः ॥ ८ ॥

yathendutvaṃ svasaṃkalpātsarvadhyātuḥ pṛthakpṛthak ,
bhātyevameva vanitālābhaḥ kālpanikaḥ svataḥ 8

8. yathā indutvam sva-saṅkalpāt sarva-dhyātuḥ pṛthak
pṛthak bhāti evam eva vanitā-lābhaḥ kālpanikaḥ svataḥ

8. yathā sarva-dhyātuḥ sva-saṅkalpāt indutvam pṛthak pṛthak bhāti,
evam eva vanitā-lābhaḥ svataḥ kālpanikaḥ (asti).

8. Just as the state of being the moon (indu), through one's own imagination (sva-saṅkalpa), appears differently to each and every meditator (dhyātṛ), so too is the acquisition of a woman naturally (svataḥ) merely imaginary.

8. כפי שמצב היות ירח מופיע באופן נפרד עבור כל מודט ומודט מתוך מחשבתו שלו, כך גם השגת רעיה אהובה בעולם הדמיון נובעת מעצמה בתוך החשיבה.
