Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)

हठविद्या परं गोप्या योगिना सिद्धिमिच्छता ।
भवेद् वीर्यवती गुप्ता निर्वीर्या तु प्रकाशिता haṭhavidyā paraṃ gopyā yoginā siddhim icchatā |
bhaved vīryavatī guptā nirvīryā tu prakāśitā

The line

The knowledge of haṭha (हठ) is to be guarded by the yogin who wants success. Guarded, it is full of strength. Published, it is emptied of strength.

नेपालीमा

सिद्धि चाहने योगीले हठको ज्ञान जोगाउनुपर्छ। जोगाइँदा त्यो बलले भरिन्छ, र प्रकाशित हुँदा त्यो बलबाट रित्त हुन्छ।
