यैर्यैः काकुत्स्थ दृष्टान्तैस्त्वं मयेहावबोध्यसे ।
सर्वे सकारणास्ते हि प्राप्यन्तु सदकारणम् ॥ ५५ ॥

yairyaiḥ kākutstha dṛṣṭāntaistvaṃ mayehāvabodhyase |
sarve sakāraṇāste hi prāpyantu sadakāraṇam || 55 ||

Whatever examples are given here as explanatory of divine nature, they are to be understood as appertaining to a world seen in a dream.
