Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
येन संचालिता शक्तिः स योगी सिद्धिभाजनम् ।
किमत्र बहुनोक्तेन कालं जयति लीलया yena saṃcālitā śaktiḥ sa yogī siddhibhājanam |
kim atra bahunoktena kālaṃ jayati līlayā
The line
The yogin by whom the śakti (शक्ति) is driven is a vessel of success. The verse asks what use there is in saying much here. He conquers time by play.
नेपालीमा
जसले शक्ति चलाएको छ, त्यो योगी सिद्धिको पात्र हो। यहाँ धेरै भनेर के काम भनेर श्लोकले सोध्छ। उसले खेलले काल जित्छ।
Where it sits
Līlā (लीला) is play. The claim is the verse's.
