Verse 3.42.15

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
स्वप्ने न पुरवास्तव्या वस्तुतः सत्यरूपिणः ।
प्रमाणमत्र शृणु मे प्रत्यक्षं नाम नेतरत् ॥ १५ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
svapne na puravāstavyā vastutaḥ satyarūpiṇaḥ |
pramāṇamatra śṛṇu me pratyakṣaṃ nāma netarat || 15 ||

Vasishtha replied:—The cities and houses, which are seen in dreams are in reality nothing. It is only the illusion (maya) of the embodied soul, which makes them appear as true like those seen in the waking state, in this visionary world.
