Verse 7.154.13

नानैकं वस्त्वतोऽनेकं न सन्नासन्न मध्यगम् ।
जाग्रति स्वप्ननगरमिव वेदनमात्रकम् ॥ १३ ॥

nānaikaṃ vastvato'nekaṃ na sannāsanna madhyagam |
jāgrati svapnanagaramiva vedanamātrakam || 13 ||

These spectres appear in forms, according to one's conception of them; and the only One appears as many, like the rays of light. All these radiations cannot be wholly true or untrue, nor a mixture of both of them.
