Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
अशेषतापतप्तानां समाश्रयमठो हठः ।
अशेषयोगयुक्तानामाधारकमठो हठः aśeṣatāpataptānāṃ samāśrayamaṭho haṭhaḥ |

The line
For those scorched by every fever, haṭha (हठ) is the hut of refuge. For those joined to every yoga, haṭha (हठ) is the tortoise that bears them.
नेपालीमा
हरेक ज्वरोले पोलेकाका लागि हठ आश्रयको कुटी हो। हरेक योगमा जोडिएकाका लागि हठ तिनीहरूलाई बोक्ने कछुवा हो।
Where it sits
The line reads ādhāra-kamaṭha (आधार-कमठ). Kamaṭha (कमठ) is a tortoise. The compound stays as the supporting tortoise.
Split: aśeṣa (अशेष) + tāpa (ताप) + taptānāṃ (तप्तानां) samāśraya (समाश्रय) + maṭho (मठो) haṭhaḥ (हठः) / aśeṣa (अशेष) + yoga (योग) + yuktānām (युक्तानाम्) ādhāra (आधार) + kamaṭho (कमठो) haṭhaḥ (हठः)
