3.127
Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
मारुतस्य विधिं सर्वं मनोयुक्तं समभ्यसेत् ।
इतरत्र न कर्तव्या मनोवृत्तिर् मनीषिणा mārutasya vidhiṃ sarvaṃ manoyuktaṃ samabhyaset |
itaratra na kartavyā manovṛttir manīṣiṇā
The line
He should practice the whole rule of the wind joined to the mind. Elsewhere, the wise one should leave the mind's activity undone.
नेपालीमा
उसले मनसँग जोडिएको वायुको पूरै नियम अभ्यास गर्नुपर्छ। अन्यत्र ज्ञानीले मनको क्रिया नगरिकन छोड्नुपर्छ।
Where it sits
The na kartavyā (न कर्तव्या) is the verse's own, said of a mental activity apart from the wind.
Split: mārutasya (मारुतस्य) vidhiṃ (विधिं) sarvaṃ (सर्वं) mano (मनो) + yuktaṃ (युक्तं) samabhyaset (समभ्यसेत्) / itaratra (इतरत्र) na (न) kartavyā (कर्तव्या) mano (मनो) + vṛttir (वृत्तिर्) manīṣiṇā (मनीषिणा)
