योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-73, verse-52

चित्ताद्ये कल्पितास्तेन बालेनेव पिशाचिकाः ।
तेजःकणा असन्तोऽपि त एते धिष्ण्यतां गताः ॥ ५२ ॥

cittādye kalpitāstena bāleneva piśācikāḥ ,
tejaḥkaṇā asanto'pi ta ete dhiṣṇyatāṃ gatāḥ 52

52. citta-ādye kalpitāḥ tena bālena iva piśācikāḥ |
tejaḥ-kaṇāḥ asantaḥ api te ete dhiṣṇyatām gatāḥ

52. tena bālena iva piśācikāḥ citta-ādye kalpitāḥ.
asantaḥ api te ete tejaḥ-kaṇāḥ dhiṣṇyatām gatāḥ.

52. Mental constructs and similar creations (citta-ādye), like goblins conjured by a child, are imagined by that (supreme consciousness). Even though these are mere particles of light (tejaḥ-kaṇāḥ) and inherently non-existent, they nonetheless become established as distinct forms or abodes (dhiṣṇya).

52. החשיבה ויכולות ההכרה, שנוצרו על ידו כמו שדים המודמיינים ברוחו של ילד, היו ניצוצות אור שלמרות היותם ערטילאיים קיבלו צורה ומקום.
