योगवासिष्ठः       yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-37, verse-31

प्रतिषेधविधीनां तु तज्ज्ञो न विषयः क्वचित् ।
शान्तसर्वैषणेच्छस्य कोऽस्य किं वक्ति किंकृते ॥ ३१ ॥
pratiṣedhavidhīnāṃ tu tajjño na viṣayaḥ kvacit ,
śāntasarvaiṣaṇecchasya ko'sya kiṃ vakti kiṃkṛte 31
31. pratiṣedha-vidhīnām tu tat-jñaḥ na viṣayaḥ kvacit |
śānta-sarva-eṣaṇa-icchasya kaḥ asya kim vakti kim-kṛte ||
31. tu pratiṣedha-vidhīnām tat-jñaḥ kvacit viṣayaḥ na [bhavati]
śānta-sarva-eṣaṇa-icchasya asya kaḥ kim vakti kim-kṛte
31. However, such a knower (tat-jña) is never subject to prohibitions and injunctions. For one whose every longing and desire (eṣaṇa-icchā) has been stilled, who can say what to him, or for what reason?
