Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
द्वासप्ततिसहस्राणां नाडीनां मलशोधने ।
कुतः प्रक्षालनोपायः कुण्डल्यभ्यसनादृते dvāsaptatisahasrāṇāṃ nāḍīnāṃ malaśodhane |
kutaḥ prakṣālanopāyaḥ kuṇḍalyabhyasanād ṛte
The line
In the cleansing of the impurity of the seventy-two thousand channels, the verse asks from where a means of washing would come, apart from the practice of kuṇḍalinī (कुण्डलिनी).
नेपालीमा
बहत्तर हजार नाडीको मलको शुद्धिमा, कुण्डलिनीको अभ्यासबाहेक धुने उपाय कहाँबाट आउँथ्यो भनेर श्लोकले सोध्छ।
Where it sits
The ṛte (ऋते) is the verse's own apart-from. The seventy-two thousand are the channels of 1.41.
Split: dvā (द्वा) + saptati (सप्तति) + sahasrāṇāṃ (सहस्राणां) nāḍīnāṃ (नाडीनां) mala (मल) + śodhane (शोधने) / kutaḥ (कुतः) prakṣālanopāyaḥ (प्रक्षालनोपायः) kuṇḍaly (कुण्डल्य्) + abhyasanād (अभ्यसनाद्) ṛte (ऋते)
