Has Sri Shankaracharya quoted from yoga vasistha?

Has Sri Shankaracharya quoted from yoga vasistha?

Where was it mentioned? Please give some reference from prasthAna traya bhashya or prakarana granthas.

My friend told me YogavAsistha is ancient (from rAmaAvatara times).

Hence it follows that it is more respectable than Gita / bramha sutras. 

If that is true, Sri Shankaracharya would not have missed the opportunity to quote from a source text.

Atreya in 1935 suggested that the text must have preceded Gaudapada and Adi Shankara, because it does not use their terminology, but does mention many Buddhist terms.^[6] Dasgupta, a contemporary of Atreya, states that the text includes verses of earlier text, such as its III.16.50 is identical to one found in Kalidasa's Kumarasambhava, thus the text must be placed after the 5th-century.^[6] Dasgupta adds that the philosophy and ideas presented in Yoga Vasistha mirror those of found in Advaita Vedanta of Adi Shankara, but neither mention the other, which probably means that the author(s) of Yoga Vasistha were scholars who lived in the same century as Shankara, placing the text in about 7th- to early 8th-century.^[6]

Sir ,

      I feel it as unnecessary . There is no rule that every book can be quoted.  People say about shankara as SHRUTI,SMRUTI , PURANA NAM AALAYAM ....... etc. 

Even there are so many shakhas of Vedas not even 2-3 sentences from every sakha was quoted by shankara .

He took the suitable one as pramanam and quoted it . 

Same like purana and smruti vakyas in bhashya grandhas .

Some similarities between yoga vasista and shankara writings will be definitely there . 

Like

 माता नास्ति पिता नास्ति बन्धु सहोदराः ।      

 यमस्य करुणा नास्ति तस्मातज्जाग्रत जाग्रत ।। yoga vasista

का ते कांता कस्ते पुत्रः संसारोयमतीव विचित्रः ।

कस्यत्वं कः कुत आयातः तत्त्वं चिन्तय तदिह भ्रातः ।। Bhajagovindam .

Like some similarities exists between them. 

The respect towards RAMAYANAM AND BHAGAVATAM also exists . The respect is different of the relevance of bhashyas . 

In brahmasutras purana ideology will be rejected yet the respect towards puranam exists.  

Even vedam also rejected by shankara at utmost part of advaita . Which is available in the madhaveeya shankara vijaya BHATTA BHASKARA - SHANKARA SAMVADA sarga . It doesn't mean that vedas were opposed by shankara.

After having a study of both yoga vasista and shankara granthas you will understand the similarities definitely. 

Sorry for inconvenience if any.

Thank you.

Greetings of the day,

Curious to know how respectability of a body of text is decided.

If I were to use an example, 

The ^Special Theory of Relativity^ was written in the year 1905 by Sir Albert Einstein,

The ^Principia Mathematica^ was written in the year 1687 by Sir Isaac Newton,

Is it good to adjudge that, 

^The Principia Mathematica^ is "more respectable" than ^The Special Theory of Relativity^  because the former was written much earlier in times to the latter. 

Srimad-Bhagavadgeetaa and Brahma Meemaamsaa Shaastra is less respectable is highly disturbing and unnerving, 

May I humbly request avoid use of such demeaning and disparaging words on a platform like BVP which trying it's best to ensure pristine glory of our ancient learning as a whole. 

Thank you and Best regards,

Namaste Krishna Ji,

As Sri Raghavendra pointed out--this question is a bit out of place knowing what Sri Krishna or Sri Bhagawan uvacha in the 10th chapter of Srimad-Bhagavad Gita: Sapta Rishis, including Vashistha appeared from the "manasha' or "mind" महर्षय: सप्त पूर्वे चत्वारो मनवस्तथा |

मद्भावा मानसा जाता येषां लोक इमा: प्रजा: || 6||. 

Do we really need to compare what Sri Bhagawan is saying vs.Rishis. In different contexts both ought to be respected. But for knowing the ultimate reality I personally will follow what Sri Krishna says in BG 15.15--"Sarvasya chaaham hrudi ..." At the same time one of our great Acharyas, like Sri Shankaracharya we as Hindus owe everything as who brought back the Sanatana Dharma and who is an incarnation of Shiva as we know. Our great acharyas come at different times with different purposes in mind and speak or quote different aspects from shrutis-smritis-puranas depending upon the contexts. One "saadhu" once pointed out to me that these days "aadhyaatma" has become like a buffet and we take whatever food we like based upon our taste and not caring about whether it is good or not or what has been prescribed. As far as which is ancient etc are concerned ----in BG., Sri Krishna says, that I have spoken this earlier to Vivaswaan -the Sun God.
