Verse 1

मनो बुद्धिरहंकार इन्द्रियादि तथानघ ।अचेत्यचिन्मयं सर्वं क्व ते जीवादयः स्थिताः

In plain words

Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: Manas, buddhi, ahaṃkāra, and likewise the indriyas and the rest, O sinless one -- all of it is made of consciousness that has no object: where, then, do these, jīva and the rest, stand?
