The Vision of Śiva2.81

2.81
शब्दस्य विषयाख्यस्य मिश्रत्वेनेन्द्रियस्य तु । सर्वदर्शनविज्ञानशून्यता पदवेदिनाम् ॥८१॥
śabdasya viṣayākhyasya miśratvenendriyasya tu | sarvadarśanavijñānaśūnyatā padavedinām
— of the Word ; — called an object ; — by being mixed ; — with the sense-organ ; — indeed ; — the lack of all insight and understanding ; — of the (mere) knowers of words

Since the Word, called an object, is mixed up with the sense-organ (of speech), the mere knowers of words are devoid of all (true) insight and understanding.
