Verse 3.15.12

यथा स्वप्नपुरं स्वच्छं जाग्रत्पुरवरं प्रति ।
तथा जगदिदं स्वच्छं सांकल्पिकजगत्प्रति ॥ १२ ॥

yathā svapnapuraṃ svacchaṃ jāgratpuravaraṃ prati |
tathā jagadidaṃ svacchaṃ sāṃkalpikajagatprati || 12 ||

As a city in a dream, is finer than one seen in the waking state, so this visionary world is as subtile as an imaginary one.
