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 4.41.15

ईदृशी राम मायेयं यां स्वनाशेन हर्षदा ।
न लक्ष्यते स्वभावोऽस्याः प्रेक्ष्यमाणैव नश्यति ॥ १५ ॥

īdṛśī rāma māyeyaṃ yāṃ svanāśena harṣadā |
na lakṣyate svabhāvo'syāḥ prekṣyamāṇaiva naśyati || 15 ||

So Rama, the mutual destruction of errors, brings joy to the soul. It is hard however to detect the error; but no sooner it is found out than it is put to destruction. It means the confutation of false doctrines by one another.
