The Vision of Śiva2.39

2.39
नहि तस्या निमित्तं वा कारणं समवायि वा । निमित्तत्त्वे पृथक्त्वं स्यात्समवाये तदात्मता ॥३९॥
nahi tasyā nimittaṃ vā kāraṇaṃ samavāyi vā | nimittattve pṛthaktvaṃ syātsamavāye tadātmatā
— for not ; — of her ; — an efficient cause ; — either ; — a cause ; — inherent ; — or ; — if it is an efficient cause ; — separateness ; — would result ; — if inherent ; — identity with it

For (Paśyantī) has neither an efficient cause nor an inherent material cause (for Madhyamā): if (the cause were) efficient, separateness would result; if inherent, identity with it (would result — and either way her supreme unity is broken).
