223,437 words | ISBN-10: 8171101519

The Sanskrit edition of the Yoga-vasistha including English translation and grammatical analysis. The Yogavasistha is a Hindu spiritual text written by Valmiki (who also authored the Ramayana) dealing with the philosophical topics from the Advaita-vedanta school. Chronologically it precedes the Ramayana.

Verse 3.3.25

मनोमात्रं यदा ब्रह्मा न पृथ्व्यादिमयात्मकः ।
मनोमात्रमतो विश्वं यद्यज्जातं तदेव हि ॥ २५ ॥

manomātraṃ yadā brahmā na pṛthvyādimayātmakaḥ |
manomātramato viśvaṃ yadyajjātaṃ tadeva hi || 25 ||

As Brahma is merely of the form of the mind, and not composed of any material substance, so the world being the product of the eternal mind, is of the same nature with its original archetype.
