2.70
पश्यन्त्याश्चेदविद्यात्वं तद्भोगौन्मुख्ययोगतः । मध्यमादेर्जडायाः किं भोगेन शबलात्मना ॥७०॥
paśyantyāścedavidyātvaṃ tadbhogaunmukhyayogataḥ | madhyamāderjaḍāyāḥ kiṃ bhogena śabalātmanā
— of Paśyantī ; — if ; — the status of nescience ; — by reason of being directed toward experiencing that (fruit) ; — of Madhyamā and the rest ; — of the insentient ; — what ; — with experience ; — of a variegated nature

If (you say) Paśyantī's status as nescience comes by her being oriented toward experiencing that (fruit of merit) — then what experience, variegated in nature, can there be for the insentient Madhyamā and the rest?
