Verse 7.208.11

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
अस्मिंश्चिद्व्योमसंकल्पपुरस्थे भाव ईदृशः ।
यद्भूत्वा न भवत्येव पुनर्भवति च क्षणात् ॥ ११ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
asmiṃścidvyomasaṃkalpapurasthe bhāva īdṛśaḥ |
yadbhūtvā na bhavatyeva punarbhavati ca kṣaṇāt || 11 ||

Vasishtha replied:—Such is the nature of the vacuous and volitional city of divine intellect; that it comes to being and not being in succession, in the states of repeated waking dreams of creation, and in the sleeping oblivion of its desolation.
