जाग्रत्त्वे क्षणदृष्टः स्यात्स्वप्नः कालान्तरे स्थितः ।
तज्जाग्रत्स्वप्नतामेति स्वप्नो जाग्रत्त्वमृच्छति ॥ १० ॥

jāgrattve kṣaṇadṛṣṭaḥ syātsvapnaḥ kālāntare sthitaḥ |
tajjāgratsvapnatāmeti svapno jāgrattvamṛcchati || 10 ||

That which is seen for a moment (as true), and as it were in the waking state, is called a dream; but if the object is seen at a distance of time and place, it is said to be waking dream or dreaming wakefulness.
