The Vision of Śiva3.56

3.56
तत्र का शान्तता ब्रूहि शक्तेः किं वस्तुता न ते । वस्तुता चेत्तथाभूतशक्तित्रितयसंगमः ॥५६॥
tatra kā śāntatā brūhi śakteḥ kiṃ vastutā na te | vastutā cettathābhūtaśaktitritayasaṃgamaḥ
— there ; — what ; — tranquillity ; — tell me ; — of Power ; — is there not ; — reality ; — not ; — for you ; — reality ; — if ; — the conjunction of just such a triad of powers

(We answer:) Tell me, what (special) tranquillity is there (in the supposedly quiescent state)? Is Power not real for you? And if it is real, then (even there) there is the conjunction of just such a triad of powers (so the two states do not differ in essence).
