श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
शृणु राम यथापूर्वं स्वयंभूत्वं मया तदा ।

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
śṛṇu rāma yathāpūrvaṃ svayaṃbhūtvaṃ mayā tadā |
anubhūtamasatsadvadidaṃ svapnapuropamam || 7 ||

Vasishtha replied:—Hear Rama, how I thought myself once in my meditation, as the self-born Swayambhu or the god who is born of himself, in whom subsisted the whole, and there was nothing born but by and from him; and how I believed the unreal as real in my revelry, or as an air-built-castle in my dreaming.
