Verse 7.148.25

कदाचित्सत्यता स्वप्ने कदाचिच्चाप्यसत्यता ।
अभावान्नियतेरेव काकतालीयमेव तत् ॥ २५ ॥

kadācitsatyatā svapne kadāciccāpyasatyatā |
abhāvānniyatereva kākatālīyameva tat || 25 ||

Thus there being no law in dreaming, there is some times some truth in some dreams, and at others there is no truth in any of them at all; and in want of any constancy, it is only an fortuitous occurrence.
