स्वप्नसंकल्पजाद्देहादपि तुच्छतरो ह्ययम् ।

alpasaṃkalpajo dīrghaiḥ sukhaduḥkhairna gṛhyate || 20 ||

This body of flesh is more contemptible than those ideal forms, which our dreams and desires produce in our sleeping and waking states;because the creature of a momentary desire, is never attended with a long or lasting happiness or misery.
