Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā / 2.9 Drink by the one you emptied
2.9
Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
येन त्यजेत् तेन पीत्वा धारयेदतिरोधतः ।
रेचयेच् च ततोऽन्येन शनैरेव न वेगतः yena tyajet tena pītvā dhārayed atirodhataḥ |
recayec ca tato'nyena śanair eva na vegataḥ
The line
He should drink by the one through which he emptied, hold with a strong restraint, and empty by the other, slowly, with no rush.
नेपालीमा
जुनबाट खाली गर्यो त्यहीबाट उसले पिउनुपर्छ, बलियो निरोधले समात्नुपर्छ र अर्कोबाट बिस्तारै, वेग बिना, खाली गर्नुपर्छ।
Where it sits
The rule that joins 2.7 and 2.8. Vegataḥ (वेगतः) is by a rush. The verse wants the slow way.
Split: yena (येन) tyajet (त्यजेत्) tena (तेन) pītvā (पीत्वा) dhārayed (धारयेद्) atirodhataḥ (अतिरोधतः) / recayec (रेचयेच्) ca (च) tato'nyena (ततोऽन्येन) śanair (शनैर्) eva (एव) na (न) vegataḥ (वेगतः)
