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 3.89.41

भावाभावाः शरीरस्था नृप शक्ता न बाधितुम् ।
भावितं तीव्रवेगेन मनसा यन्महीपते ॥ ४१ ॥

bhāvābhāvāḥ śarīrasthā nṛpa śaktā na bādhitum |
bhāvitaṃ tīvravegena manasā yanmahīpate || 41 ||

Being and not being are words applicable to bodies (and are convertible to one another); but they do not apply to the mind; since what is positive in thought, cannot be negatived of it in any wise.
