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 5.17.21

तिर्यगूर्ध्वमधस्ताच्च व्यापको महिमात्मनः ।
सर्वमात्मेति तेनान्तर्निश्चयेन न बध्यते ॥ २१ ॥

tiryagūrdhvamadhastācca vyāpako mahimātmanaḥ |
sarvamātmeti tenāntarniścayena na badhyate || 21 ||

The magnitude of the Supreme spirit, extends over and below and about all existence; hence the belief of "all in One, or One in all" never holds a man in bondage.
