3.126
Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
राजयोगं विना पृथ्वी राजयोगं विना निशा ।
राजयोगं विना मुद्रा विचित्रापि न शोभते rājayogaṃ vinā pṛthvī rājayogaṃ vinā niśā |
rājayogaṃ vinā mudrā vicitrāpi na śobhate
The line
The verse says the earth without rāja (राज) yoga, the night without rāja (राज) yoga, and a mudrā (मुद्रा) without rāja (राज) yoga, however varied, do not shine.
नेपालीमा
श्लोकले राजयोग बिनाको पृथ्वी, राजयोग बिनाको रात र राजयोग बिनाको मुद्रा, जति विविध भए पनि, चम्किँदैनन् भन्छ।
Where it sits
The vinā (विना) is the verse's own. A mudrā (मुद्रा) shines with rāja (राज) yoga. This is the same pair as 2.76.
Split: rāja (राज) + yogaṃ (योगं) vinā (विना) pṛthvī (पृथ्वी) rāja (राज) + yogaṃ (योगं) vinā (विना) niśā (निशा) / rāja (राज) + yogaṃ (योगं) vinā (विना) mudrā (मुद्रा) vicitrāpi (विचित्रापि) na (न) śobhate (शोभते)
