The Vision of Śiva2.27

2.27
पश्यन्त्याः सत्यरूपायास्तत्सत्यत्वे न दर्शनम् । असत्ये सत्यदृष्ट्यैव पश्यन्त्यां मलिनात्मता ॥२७॥
paśyantyāḥ satyarūpāyāstatsatyatve na darśanam | asatye satyadṛṣṭyaiva paśyantyāṃ malinātmatā
— of Paśyantī ; — of the (supposedly) real-natured ; — if those (objects) are real ; — there is no (genuine new) seeing ; — when they are unreal ; — through the very seeing as real ; — in Paśyantī ; — an impure nature

Of the (supposedly) real-natured Paśyantī: if those objects are real, there is no (fresh) seeing; and if they are unreal, then by her very seeing of them as real there arises an impurity in Paśyantī.
