वक्षि चेत्कथमेतस्माद्व्यर्थं तदनुभूयते ।
सर्गाद्यमुत्र स्वप्नादिष्वेषु कोऽपह्नवं भजेत् ॥ १२ ॥

vakṣi cetkathametasmādvyarthaṃ tadanubhūyate |
sargādyamutra svapnādiṣveṣu ko'pahnavaṃ bhajet || 12 ||

Should you say, why these conceptions of creation rise in vain in the mind (if the creation is nothing in substance); I answer that they rise in the manner of dreams in the state of sleeping, which you cannot deny to enjoy.
