Verse 7.190.52

श्रीराम उवाच ।
स्वप्नः सत्योऽस्त्वसत्यो वा दुःखं तावत्प्रयच्छति ।
तथैवेयं जगद्भ्रान्तिः क उपायोऽत्र कथ्यताम् ॥ ५२ ॥

śrīrāma uvāca |
svapnaḥ satyo'stvasatyo vā duḥkhaṃ tāvatprayacchati |
tathaiveyaṃ jagadbhrāntiḥ ka upāyo'tra kathyatām || 52 ||

Rama rejoined:—The sight of the miserable world, whether it be true or false, is like the startling apparition in a dream, and attended with pain only for the time; tell me therefore the best means, how to avoid and get rid of this error.
