History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v7.c89.52

v7.c89.52

The Chāndogya Up. contains a verse saying 'if a person engaged in rites for securing a certain desired object sees a woman in a dream, one should understand on seeing such a sight that he will prosper (i. e. secure that object)'.1164a The Chāndogya Upaniṣad (VIII. 10. 1), the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad (IV. 3. 7–20) and Praśna IV. 5 contain profound thoughts on the psychology of dream phenomena, but as that discussion would not be relevant in the section on śānti nothing can be said here beyond quoting three striking passages.¹¹⁶⁵
