श्रीदेव्युवाच ।
यथा स्वप्नपरिज्ञानात्स्वप्नदेहो न वास्तवः ।
अनुभूतोऽप्ययं तद्वद्वासनातानवादसन् ॥ १ ॥

śrīdevyuvāca |
yathā svapnaparijñānātsvapnadeho na vāstavaḥ |
anubhūto'pyayaṃ tadvadvāsanātānavādasan || 1 ||

The goddess continued:—As objects seen in a dream, prove to be false as the dream, on being roused from sleep and upon knowing them as fumes of fancy; so the belief in the reality of the body, becomes unfounded upon dissolution of our desires.
