श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
यथा दामादयो राम स्थिता मायामया इति ।
असत्या एव सत्याभा मृगतृष्णाम्बुपूरवत् ॥ १५ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
yathā dāmādayo rāma sthitā māyāmayā iti |
asatyā eva satyābhā mṛgatṛṣṇāmbupūravat || 15 ||

Yes Rama, it was in the same way, that the non-existent and unreal Dama and others seemed to be in existence by mere illusion, as the mirage appears to us to be full of water by our optical delusion.
