Verse 7.79.16

स्वप्नानुभव एषोऽत्र दृष्टान्तत्वेन लक्ष्यते ।
आबालमेतत्संसिद्धमनुभूतं श्रुतं स्मृतम् ॥ १६ ॥

svapnānubhava eṣo'tra dṛṣṭāntatvena lakṣyate |
ābālametatsaṃsiddhamanubhūtaṃ śrutaṃ smṛtam || 16 ||

The notion of a thing seen in our dream, is given here as an instance (to prove the unreality of our idea of the body); because it is well known to boys and every body, and adduced to us both in the srutis and smritis tradition.
