वर्हा-उस स्वप्नावस्थामें रथादि. है जो रथम जोते जाते है, वे रथ- निर्मायः इति; अन्तःकरण- स्वप्नसृष्टिके विषयमे प्रमाणभूत मन्त तदेते श्छोका भवन्ति। देह के पदार्थ बदलते रहते हैं, पर जानने का बोध बना रहता है। यह पंक्ति उसी अंतर को कहती है — जो बदलता है वह आवरण है, जो जानता है वह निरंतर है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
