Verse 2.17.23
स्वप्ने वा व्योम्नि वा चित्रमकर्तृ चिरभासुरम् ।
अवह्निरेव वह्नित्वं धत्ते चित्रानलो यथा ॥ २३ ॥
svapne vā vyomni vā citramakartṛ cirabhāsuram |
avahnireva vahnitvaṃ dhatte citrānalo yathā || 23 ||
Thus whatever unreal wonders always appear to us in our dreams or in the sky, they are but the resemblances of a fire in a picture, which seems to be burning without having any fire in it.
