तद्देशकालात्मतया गत्वा देशान्तरं यथा ।
देशाद्देशान्तरं यद्वन्न गत्यात्मादिकं विना ॥ १२ ॥

taddeśakālātmatayā gatvā deśāntaraṃ yathā |
deśāddeśāntaraṃ yadvanna gatyātmādikaṃ vinā || 12 ||

As a man when going or carried from one country to another, and there again to some other place, has no knowledge of the distance of his journey, unless he is conscious of its length and duration in space and time;so we are ignorant of the duration of our dream, and our passing from one dream to another, without our consciousness of it in our sleeping state.
