भ्रमं यं पश्यति मनो वासनामलमालितम् ।
स्वप्नवत्स कथं देव जाग्रत्यपि हि दृश्यते ॥ ४५ ॥

bhramaṃ yaṃ paśyati mano vāsanāmalamālitam |
svapnavatsa kathaṃ deva jāgratyapi hi dṛśyate || 45 ||

The mind which is vitiated by the dirt of its desires, views a great many errors, rising before it like false phantoms and visions in a dream; but how is it my lord! that the same visions continue to be seen in the waking state also (or as waking dreams likewise)?
