योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-30, verse-6

निर्वाणैकतया ज्ञस्य वासनैव न वासना ।
लेखादामोपमा त्वब्धेरूर्म्यादि न जलेतरत् ॥ ६ ॥

nirvāṇaikatayā jñasya vāsanaiva na vāsanā ,
lekhādāmopamā tvabdherūrmyādi na jaletarat 6

6. nirvāṇaikatayā jñasya vāsanā eva na vāsanā
lekhādāmopamā tu abdheḥ ūrmi ādi na jala itarat

6. jñasya nirvāṇaikatayā vāsanā eva na vāsanā [asti] [sā]
lekhādāmopamā [eva] tu abdheḥ ūrmyādi jala-itarat na [asti]

6. For the enlightened one (jña), whose nature is solely one with final liberation (nirvāṇa), any latent mental impression (vāsanā) is not truly a binding impression. It is comparable to lines drawn on water; just as the waves and other manifestations of the ocean are, in essence, not separate from the water itself.
