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 5.39.45

योऽयं देहपरित्यागस्तल्लोके मरणं स्मृतम् ।
न सता नासता तेन कारणं वेद्यवेदनम् ॥ ४५ ॥

yo'yaṃ dehaparityāgastalloke maraṇaṃ smṛtam |
na satā nāsatā tena kāraṇaṃ vedyavedanam || 45 ||

It is the soul's quitting the body that is called death; and this is unknown to the spiritualist, who is quite indifferent about the entity and nonentity of the body.
