Verse 7.163.23

स्वप्नदर्शनदृष्टान्तः केन नामात्र खण्ड्यते ।
असन्मयोऽनुभूतश्च स्वानुभूतोऽप्यसन्मयः ॥ २३ ॥

svapnadarśanadṛṣṭāntaḥ kena nāmātra khaṇḍyate |
asanmayo'nubhūtaśca svānubhūto'pyasanmayaḥ || 23 ||

No body can deny its similitude, to the shadowy sight in a dream; it is an unreal notion, and as unsubstantial as all notions can be, and as the notion of a void is void itself.
