Yoga Vasistha [sanskrit]

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 3.114.57

उदेत्यज्ञानमात्रेण नश्यति ज्ञानमात्रतः ।
सन्मात्रे परिविच्छेद्या रज्ज्वामिव भुजंगधीः ॥ ५७ ॥

udetyajñānamātreṇa naśyati jñānamātrataḥ |
sanmātre parivicchedyā rajjvāmiva bhujaṃgadhīḥ || 57 ||

The phenomenals rise to view from our ignorance, and disappear before the light of knowledge (as the dreams and spectres of the dark, are put to flight before the rising sun-light). They appear in various forms in the substratum of the soul, as the fallacy of a snake appearing in the substance of a rope.
