Verse 7.216.13

कारुण्य उवाच ।
स्मृतिर्वाग्दृष्टिसत्ता च स्वप्ने वन्ध्यासुतेऽजले ।
मरीचिका यथा तद्वज्ज्ञानात्सांसारिकी स्थितिः ॥ १३ ॥

kāruṇya uvāca |
smṛtirvāgdṛṣṭisattā ca svapne vandhyāsute'jale |
marīcikā yathā tadvajjñānātsāṃsārikī sthitiḥ || 13 ||

Karanya said:—The remembrance of the past, the sight of the present, and the talk of future events, together with the existence of the world; are all as false as the sights in our dreams or of water in mirage, or as the birth of a boy of a barren woman.
