Madhyamāsiddhi (मध्यमासिद्धि) [=madhyasiddhi?] refers to “(attainment of) middling siddhis”, according to the Guhyasūtra chapter 9.—Accordingly, “[...] [The Lord spoke]:—[...] He will be released from [the retributive force of] major transgressions; and he will attain low siddhis after two months, middling Siddhis (madhyamāsiddhi) after half a year and high siddhis after a year; he will attain power over the spell (vidyāsiddhi). The ability to make himself atomic, along with the others [of the Yogic powers], will arise. He will take pleasure in the company of siddhas. He will attain the wishes he desires; if he is without desires, he will attain liberation. [...]”.
