Verse 7.95.5

द्रष्टुं प्रवृत्ता मामग्रे वास्तव्याः सर्व एव ते ।
झटित्येव पुरं प्राप्तमिन्द्रजालद्रुमं यथा ॥ ५ ॥

draṣṭuṃ pravṛttā māmagre vāstavyāḥ sarva eva te |
jhaṭityeva puraṃ prāptamindrajāladrumaṃ yathā || 5 ||

They then began to look upon me standing before them, and felt astonished at my unthought appearance, as the spectators are startled at the sudden sight of a juggler's trick or some magic show.
