The Vision of Śiva6.33

6.33
विज्ञानवादिनां ज्ञानं सत्यं प्रत्येत्यसत्यताम् । बहिः कथं नह्यसत्यं सत्याद्भवितुमर्हति ॥३३॥
vijñānavādināṃ jñānaṃ satyaṃ pratyetyasatyatām | bahiḥ kathaṃ nahyasatyaṃ satyādbhavitumarhati
— of the Vijñānavādins ; — cognition ; — real ; — apprehends ; — unreality ; — externally ; — how? ; — for not ; — the unreal ; — from the real ; — can come to be

For the Vijñānavādins, cognition is real, (yet) it apprehends an unreality (the external) — how (can it apprehend) outwardly (what is unreal)? For the unreal cannot arise from the real.
