शान्तसंकल्पमत्ताभ्रभीषणाशनिशब्दवत् ।
विस्मृतस्वप्नसंकल्पनिर्माणनगरोपमा ॥ ३६ ॥

śāntasaṃkalpamattābhrabhīṣaṇāśaniśabdavat |
vismṛtasvapnasaṃkalpanirmāṇanagaropamā || 36 ||

It is as vain as a man of unsubdued desires, bursting into a roaring like that of the loud and tremendous thunder-claps, and as the raising of a city on the model of one's effaced impressions in a dream.
