223,437 words | ISBN-10: 8171101519

The Sanskrit edition of the Yoga-vasistha including English translation and grammatical analysis.

Chronologically it precedes the Ramayana.

Verse 6.45.17

इयमस्मीति कलनादसदप्यन्यतामलम् ।
भेदाद्यसंभवदिदं स्वयमुत्पाद्य भावितम् ॥ १७ ॥

iyamasmīti kalanādasadapyanyatāmalam |
bhedādyasaṃbhavadidaṃ svayamutpādya bhāvitam || 17 ||

The thought that 'I am this', clothes the unreality with a gross form (as the thought of a devil gives the unreal phantom a foul figure);and though it is absurd to attribute differences to nullities, yet the mind makes them of itself and then believes its fictitious creatures as real ones.
