Verse 6.52.1

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
यो जीवस्यादितः स्वप्नो नानाकलनकोमलः ।
तमिमं विद्धि संसारं न सत्यं नाप्यसन्मयम् ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
yo jīvasyāditaḥ svapno nānākalanakomalaḥ |
tamimaṃ viddhi saṃsāraṃ na satyaṃ nāpyasanmayam || 1 ||

Vasishtha said:—Know Rama, this world to be as a dream, which is common to all living beings, and is fraught with many agreeable scenes, so as to form the daily romance of their lives, which is neither true nor entirely false.
