निमेषेण घटो याति पटतां स्वापसंविदि ।
असत्यमपि बुध्येत स्वप्ने स्वमरणं यथा ॥ २१ ॥

nimeṣeṇa ghaṭo yāti paṭatāṃ svāpasaṃvidi |
asatyamapi budhyeta svapne svamaraṇaṃ yathā || 21 ||

In a dream within a minute good many things can be made and unmade, which in fact, are unreal like one's death in a dream.
