The Vision of Śiva5.9

5.9
दुःखादिना विशेषश्चेत् तत्राप्यशिवता नच । दुःखेऽपि प्रविकासेन दुःखार्थे धृतिसंगमात् ॥९॥
duḥkhādinā viśeṣaścet tatrāpyaśivatā naca | duḥkhe'pi pravikāsena duḥkhārthe dhṛtisaṃgamāt
— by suffering and the like ; — a distinction ; — if (you say) ; — even there ; — non-Śiva-ness ; — is not (present) ; — even in suffering ; — by way of (consciousness's) expansion ; — in the object of suffering ; — from the meeting with (a kind of) steadfast resolve

If (you say) there is a distinction (introduced) by suffering and the like — even there non-Śiva-ness is not (present); for even in suffering, by way of (consciousness's) expansion, in the very object of suffering there is a meeting with (a kind of) firm resolve.
