योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-54, verse-24

जगदास्ते परस्याणोरन्तरित्यपि नोचितम् ।
सार्षपे कणके मेरुरास्त इत्यज्ञकल्पना ॥ २४ ॥

jagadāste parasyāṇorantarityapi nocitam ,
sārṣape kaṇake merurāsta ityajñakalpanā 24

24. jagat āste parasya aṇoḥ antari iti api na ucitam
sārṣape kaṇake meruḥ āste iti ajñakalpanā

24. jagat parasya aṇoḥ antari āste iti api na ucitam.
sārṣape kaṇake meruḥ āste iti ajñakalpanā.

24. It is also not proper to say that the world (jagat) exists within a supreme (or the subtlest) atom. The idea that Mount Meru exists inside a mustard seed is just the imagination of the ignorant.
