the Aṣṭāvakra Gītā (अष्टावक्र गीता)
यस्याभिमानो मोक्षेऽपि देहेऽपि ममता तथा ।
न च ज्ञानी न वा योगी केवलं दुःखभागसौ yasyābhimāno mokṣe 'pi dehe 'pi mamatā tathā |
na ca jñānī na vā yogī kevalaṃ duḥkhabhāg asau
The line
One whose pride is even in liberation, and whose sense of mine is even in the body, is not a knower and not a yogin. That one is only a sharer of pain.
नेपालीमा
जसको अभिमान मोक्षमा पनि छ, र देहमा पनि ममता छ, ऊ ज्ञानी होइन, योगी पनि होइन। ऊ केवल दुःखको भागी हो।
Where it sits
Aṣṭāvakra (अष्टावक्र) is still speaking. Pride in liberation and mine sense in the body keep the name of knower and yogin away.
Split: yasya (यस्य) + abhimānaḥ (अभिमानः) + mokṣe (मोक्षे) + api (अपि) + dehe (देहे) + api (अपि) + mamatā (ममता) + tathā (तथा) + na (न) + ca (च) + jñānī (ज्ञानी) + na (न) + vā (वा) + yogī (योगी) + kevalam (केवलम्) + duḥkhabhāk (दुःखभाक्) + asau (असौ)

The phrases
yasya (यस्य) has abhimānaḥ (अभिमानः) even mokṣe (मोक्षे) and mamatā (ममता) even dehe (देहे). asau (असौ) is na (न) jñānī (ज्ञानी) and na (न) yogī (योगी), only duḥkhabhāk (दुःखभाक्).
Sanskrit in this line
yasya (यस्य) plus abhimānaḥ (अभिमानः) is yasyābhimānaḥ (यस्याभिमानः), and abhimānaḥ (अभिमानः) before m (म्) is abhimāno (अभिमानो). mokṣe (मोक्षे) plus api (अपि) is mokṣe (मोक्षे) 'pi (ऽपि), and dehe (देहे) plus api (अपि) is dehe (देहे) 'pi (ऽपि). duḥkhabhāk (दुःखभाक्) before asau (असौ) is duḥkhabhāg (दुःखभाग्), k (क्) becoming g (ग्) before the vowel.
Say it back
Pride in what, and mine sense in what, keep him from being a knower or a yogin?
