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 4.53.6

परमान्नभसो जातः संकल्पः खोत्थ उच्यते ।
जायते स्वयमेवासौ स्वयमेव विलीयते ॥ ६ ॥

paramānnabhaso jātaḥ saṃkalpaḥ khottha ucyate |
jāyate svayamevāsau svayameva vilīyate || 6 ||

The vacuous spirit of the Supreme Deity, gives rise to his formless will, which is thence called Air-born (or the mind). It is born of itself in its formless state from the formless Spirit, and dissolves itself into the same; as the wave rising from and falling in the bosom of the sea.
