Verse 7.204.8

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
ब्रूहि राघव तत्त्वेन स्वप्नदृष्टमहापुरे ।
संपन्ना भूः कथमिव संपन्नं कथमम्बरम् ॥ ८ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
brūhi rāghava tattvena svapnadṛṣṭamahāpure |
saṃpannā bhūḥ kathamiva saṃpannaṃ kathamambaram || 8 ||

Vasishtha replied:—You have well asked these questions, Rama, as they naturally suggest themselves to every inquirer after truth; but tell me in one word, why do you see the varieties of earth and sky, as well as of all other things that you see in your dream.
