तत्स्वप्नादावपूर्वोऽर्थो दृष्टान्त इति भाति यः ।
ससंस्कारादिनामोक्तो न बाह्योऽर्थोस्ति चेतसि ॥ १६ ॥

tatsvapnādāvapūrvo'rtho dṛṣṭānta iti bhāti yaḥ |
sasaṃskārādināmokto na bāhyo'rthosti cetasi || 16 ||

When such things (or conditions) occur in the mind in dreams, as have not been seen or known before, they are called sanskaras or pristine impressions in the mind (as our inward passions and feelings), and not the external objects of sense, which are not inbred in the mind.
