Verse 7.207.5

आश्रितस्वप्नसंदर्शस्तथेदं भासते जगत् ।
समस्तकारणाभावात्सर्गादावन्यतात्र का ॥ ५ ॥

āśritasvapnasaṃdarśastathedaṃ bhāsate jagat |
samastakāraṇābhāvātsargādāvanyatātra kā || 5 ||

It is this knowledge (or the idea) of a thing in the mind, either in waking or dreaming, that they call to be its body; hence it is this erroneous consciousness of anything, that is believed as its body, and there is nothing else beside this that they call a solid body.
