योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-42, verse-26

स्वप्ने जाग्रत्यनग्रस्थोऽप्यसन्नेवास्तिभावनात् ।
तथैवोन्मीलिताक्षस्य रूपालोकमनोभ्रमः ॥ २६ ॥

svapne jāgratyanagrastho'pyasannevāstibhāvanāt ,
tathaivonmīlitākṣasya rūpālokamanobhramaḥ 26

26. svapne jāgrati anagrasthaḥ api asan eva asti bhāvanāt
| tathā eva unmīlitākṣasya rūpālokamanobhramaḥ ||

26. svapne jāgrati anagrasthaḥ api bhāvanāt asan eva
asti tathā eva unmīlitākṣasya rūpālokamanobhramaḥ

26. What appears in the dream and waking states, though not truly manifest, is indeed non-existent, being merely a product of mental conception (bhāvanā). Similarly, for one with open eyes, there is a mental delusion of perceiving forms.

26. כשם שבחלום או בערות, עצם שאינו ניצב מול האדם נתפס כקיים רק עקב פרי הדמיון, כך גם בעיניים פקוחות תעתוע החשיבה של ראיית צורות נובע מדמיון בלבד.
