Verse 7.166.38

शुद्धं वेदनमेवेदं घटावटपटादिकम् ।
यथा स्वप्ने तथा भाति जलमूर्मितया यथा ॥ ३८ ॥

śuddhaṃ vedanamevedaṃ ghaṭāvaṭapaṭādikam |
yathā svapne tathā bhāti jalamūrmitayā yathā || 38 ||

All things are but mere notions of them, as those of a pot or cot, a picture and all others; they appear in us as our dreams, and rise before us as the waves of water.
