काहं क इव संसार इति स्वप्नेऽप्यसंकथा ।
जाया श्रोत्रियमूढस्य तादृशस्यैव दुर्धियः ॥ १० ॥

kāhaṃ ka iva saṃsāra iti svapne'pyasaṃkathā |
jāyā śrotriyamūḍhasya tādṛśasyaiva durdhiyaḥ || 10 ||

Being thus busied and employed, I was so silly and ignorant, that I never thought within myself, even in a dream, about what I was and what was this world, although I had been the wife of a Brahman.
