Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
शुद्धमेति यदा सर्वं नाडीचक्रं मलाकुलम् ।
तदैव जायते योगी प्राणसंग्रहणे क्षमः śuddham eti yadā sarvaṃ nāḍīcakraṃ malākulam |
tadaiva jāyate yogī prāṇasaṃgrahaṇe kṣamaḥ
The line
When the whole wheel of channels, crowded with impurity, becomes clean, then the yogin becomes able to gather the prāṇa (प्राण).
नेपालीमा
अशुद्धिले भरिएको सारा नाडीचक्र सफा भएपछि योगी प्राण जम्मा गर्न सक्षम हुन्छ।
