Verse 3.57.52

झटित्येव यथाकाशं भवति स्वप्नपर्वतः ।
क्रमेण वा तथा बोधे खं भवत्याधिभौतिकम् ॥ ५२ ॥

jhaṭityeva yathākāśaṃ bhavati svapnaparvataḥ |
krameṇa vā tathā bodhe khaṃ bhavatyādhibhautikam || 52 ||

As the hill in a dream, immediately disappears into airy nothing, so the material world sooner or later disappears into naught by thinking on its nihility.
