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 7.161.32

यथा दृश्यं जगच्चेति नित्यमेकार्थतां गतौ ।
उभौ शब्दौ तथैवैतज्जाग्रत्स्वप्नात्मकौ स्मृतौ ॥ ३२ ॥

yathā dṛśyaṃ jagacceti nityamekārthatāṃ gatau |
ubhau śabdau tathaivaitajjāgratsvapnātmakau smṛtau || 32 ||

As the word worlds and phenomenal, are significant of the one and same meaning; so the terms dreaming and waking are homonymous, and interchangeable to one another—mutatis mutandis.
