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 3.96.26

स्फुरत्यात्मविनाशाय विस्मारयति तत्पदम् ।
मिथ्याविकल्पजालेन तन्मलं परिकल्प्यते ॥ २६ ॥

sphuratyātmavināśāya vismārayati tatpadam |
mithyāvikalpajālena tanmalaṃ parikalpyate || 26 ||

The next is doubt, which entraps the dubious mind in the snare of scepticism, and tends to be the destruction of the soul, by causing it to disbelieve and forget the supreme spirit.
