जीवः सर्वेषु सर्गेषु स्वप्नार्थान्निखिलान्मिथः ।
प्राक्कर्मसत्वं मिथ्यात्म यथावासनमेषु च ॥ १२ ॥

jīvaḥ sarveṣu sargeṣu svapnārthānnikhilānmithaḥ |
prākkarmasatvaṃ mithyātma yathāvāsanameṣu ca || 12 ||

Both prior acts as well as desires, are equally false in their causality, of framing living beings in different shapes in their repeated births, just as they are no causes of producing the persons seen in our dreams.
