Verse 7.190.13

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
स्वप्नार्थमृगतृष्णाम्बुद्वीन्दुसंकल्पितार्थवत् ।
मिथ्या जगदहंत्वं च भाति केशोण्ड्रकं यथा ॥ १३ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
svapnārthamṛgatṛṣṇāmbudvīndusaṃkalpitārthavat |
mithyā jagadahaṃtvaṃ ca bhāti keśoṇḍrakaṃ yathā || 13 ||

Vasishtha replied:—Just as the dreamer's vision in sleep, the deer's mistake of water in the mirage in sand, the illusory sight of a moon in the sky, and the prospects of our delusive fancies, do all disappear on right observation; so the false perceptions of worldly things, and the mistaken conceptions of our own entities, are as erroneous as the sights of the false lights in the empty air.
