Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā / 1.33 What the peacock does
1.33
Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
हरति सकलरोगानाशु गुल्मोदरादीनभिभवति च दोषानासनं श्रीमयूरम् ।
बहु कदशनभुक्तं भस्म कुर्यादशेषं जनयति जठराग्निं जारयेत् कालकूटम् harati sakalarogān āśu gulmodarādīn abhibhavati ca doṣān āsanaṃ śrīmayūram |
bahu kadaśanabhuktaṃ bhasma kuryād aśeṣaṃ janayati jaṭharāgniṃ jārayet kālakūṭam
The line
The glorious peacock seat quickly takes away every disease beginning with gulma and the belly's swelling, overcomes the doṣas (दोष), can ash a large bad meal entirely, kindles the belly's fire, and would digest the kālakūṭa (कालकूट) poison.
नेपालीमा
श्री मयूर आसनले गुल्म र पेटको सुजनबाट सुरु हुने हरेक रोग छिटै हटाउँछ, दोषलाई जित्छ, ठूलो खराब भोजनलाई पूरै खरानी पार्न सक्छ, पेटको अग्नि बाल्छ, र कालकूट विष पचाउँछ।
Where it sits
The fruit of 1.32. Kālakūṭa (कालकूट) is the poison the old stories give that name. The verse claims the seat can digest it.
