Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
नित्यं सोमकलापूर्णं शरीरं यस्य योगिनः ।
तक्षकेणापि दष्टस्य विषं तस्य न सर्पति nityaṃ somakalāpūrṇaṃ śarīraṃ yasya yoginaḥ |
takṣakeṇāpi daṣṭasya viṣaṃ tasya na sarpati
The line
The yogin whose body is always full of the digits of the moon: even if Takṣaka (तक्षक) has bitten him, the poison does not spread in him.
नेपालीमा
जसको शरीर सधैँ चन्द्रका कलाहरूले भरिएको छ, त्यस योगीमा तक्षकले टोके पनि विष फैलिँदैन।
Where it sits
Takṣaka (तक्षक) is the serpent of that name. The claim is the verse's.
Split: nityaṃ (नित्यं) soma (सोम) + kalā (कला) + pūrṇaṃ (पूर्णं) śarīraṃ (शरीरं) yasya (यस्य) yoginaḥ (योगिनः) / takṣakeṇāpi (तक्षकेणापि) daṣṭasya (दष्टस्य) viṣaṃ (विषं) tasya (तस्य) na (न) sarpati (सर्पति)
