Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Yoga Vasishtha Maharamayana

Unmajjana (उन्मज्जन) (Cf. Nimajjana) refers to the “rising of the earth” [?], as mentioned in the Yogavasistha 6.26.—Accordingly, as Bhuśuṇḍa says to Vasiṣṭha: “[...] The earth has been sinking and rising repeatedly [i.e., unmajjana-nimajjana], since the great deluge, and I have been witnessing the submersion and immersion of things, and the perdition and reproduction of beings, without any change of the sedateness of my soul and mind. I never think of the past and future, my sight is fixed only on the present, and my mind sees the remote past and future as ever present before it. I am employed in the business that presents itself to me, and never care for their toil nor care for their reward. I live as one in sleep and solely with myself [= the state of kaivalya or solity]. [...]”.
