The Vision of Śiva2.37

2.37
अथ मध्यमया बाह्या भावा ग्राह्या ह्यविद्यया । तस्या एव हि संयोगो बुद्ध्या संकल्पनात्मना ॥३७॥
atha madhyamayā bāhyā bhāvā grāhyā hyavidyayā | tasyā eva hi saṃyogo buddhyā saṃkalpanātmanā
— now (if) ; — by Madhyamā ; — external ; — entities ; — to be grasped ; — indeed ; — through nescience ; — of that very (Madhyamā) ; — indeed ; — conjunction ; — with the intellect ; — whose nature is conceptual construction

Now if (you say) external entities are to be grasped by Madhyamā through nescience — then it is that very (Madhyamā) that has conjunction with the intellect, whose nature is conceptual construction (— and so it cannot be the pure supreme).
