Verse 7.211.28

स्वप्ने पुंसा मृतेनापि स्वदाहो दृश्यते यथा ।
असदेव सदाभासं जगद्दृष्टं परे तथा ॥ २८ ॥

svapne puṃsā mṛtenāpi svadāho dṛśyate yathā |
asadeva sadābhāsaṃ jagaddṛṣṭaṃ pare tathā || 28 ||

As a man sees the funeral of his dead body, conducted by his son in his dream; so the unreal world is seen as a reality, in as much as it is reflected as such by its supreme contriver.
