योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-37, verse-10

उभे एते मिथोऽसत्ये असत्ये च न निर्वृतिः ।
यतो निर्वाणमजरमदुःखमनुभूयते ॥ १० ॥

ubhe ete mitho'satye asatye ca na nirvṛtiḥ ,
yato nirvāṇamajaramaduḥkhamanubhūyate 10

10. ubhe ete mithaḥ asatye asatye ca na nirvṛtiḥ
yataḥ nirvāṇam ajaram aduḥkham anubhūyate

10. ete ubhe mithaḥ asatye asatye ca nirvṛtiḥ na
yataḥ nirvāṇam ajaram aduḥkham anubhūyate

10. Both of these (the perceived world and ultimate liberation) are mutually unreal. And in what is unreal, there is no true cessation of suffering (nirvṛti). Therefore, ultimate liberation (nirvāṇa) is experienced as ageless and sorrow-free.
