तेनोपलम्भः कुड्यादावसौ दृढतरः स्थितः ।
यद्यत्र चिद्भावयति तत्तत्राशु भवत्यलम् ॥ ४८ ॥

tenopalambhaḥ kuḍyādāvasau dṛḍhataraḥ sthitaḥ |
yadyatra cidbhāvayati tattatrāśu bhavatyalam || 48 ||

Whatever the intellect dwells upon at any time or place, it immediately sees the same appearing therein before it; as anything which is seen in dream, appears to be true to the dreamer all that time.
