Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
तस्याः किंचिद् रजो नाशं न गच्छति न संशयः ।
तस्याः शरीरे नादश् च बिन्दुतामेव गच्छति tasyāḥ kiṃcid rajo nāśaṃ na gacchati na saṃśayaḥ |
tasyāḥ śarīre nādaś ca bindutām eva gacchati
The line
The verse says not even a little of her rajas goes to destruction. There is no doubt. In her body the nāda (नाद) goes to the very state of the drop.
नेपालीमा
श्लोकले उनको रजको अलिकति पनि नाशमा जाँदैन भन्छ, शङ्का छैन। उनको शरीरमा नाद बिन्दुको अवस्थासम्मै जान्छ।
Where it sits
The na (न) is the verse's own. Nāda (नाद) here enters her account of the drop.
