योगवासिष्ठः       yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-33, verse-20

प्रलयेष्वपि दृष्टेषु जगद्दृश्याख्यविभ्रमः ।
न नश्यति न जायेत भ्रान्तिमात्रैकरूपिणः ॥ २० ॥
pralayeṣvapi dṛṣṭeṣu jagaddṛśyākhyavibhramaḥ ,
na naśyati na jāyeta bhrāntimātraikarūpiṇaḥ 20
20. pralayeṣu api dṛṣṭeṣu jagat-dṛśya-ākhya-vibhramaḥ
na naśyati na jāyeta bhrānti-mātra-eka-rūpiṇaḥ
20. pralayeṣu api dṛṣṭeṣu,
jagat-dṛśya-ākhya-vibhramaḥ bhrānti-mātra-eka-rūpiṇaḥ na naśyati na jāyeta
20. Even when cosmic dissolutions (pralayas) are observed, the delusion (vibhrama) known as the "world of perceived objects" (jagat-dṛśya) neither truly perishes nor is it born, because it is inherently nothing but a single form of illusion (bhrānti).
