पवनक्षोभितो रन्ध्रैर्बहिरक्षादिभिर्यथा ॥ ३२ ॥

sevate vāsanāṃ yāṃ tāṃ so'ntaḥ paśyati nidritaḥ |
pavanakṣobhito randhrairbahirakṣādibhiryathā || 32 ||

Whatever one desires to have, he sees the same in himself in his sleep; and this is by the force of his inward wind acting upon his mind, as upon his outward organs.
