Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
प्राणापानौ नादबिन्दू मूलबन्धेन चैकताम् ।
गत्वा योगस्य संसिद्धिं यच्छतो नात्र संशयः prāṇāpānau nādabindū mūlabandhena caikatām |
gatvā yogasya saṃsiddhiṃ yacchato nātra saṃśayaḥ
The line
Prāṇa (प्राण) and apāna (अपान), nāda (नाद) and bindu, go to oneness by mūlabandha (मूलबन्ध), and they give the full success of yoga. The verse says there is no doubt here.
नेपालीमा
प्राण र अपान, नाद र बिन्दु, मूलबन्धबाट एकत्वमा जान्छन्, र तिनीहरूले योगको पूर्ण सिद्धि दिन्छन्। श्लोकले यहाँ शङ्का छैन भन्छ।
Where it sits
Two pairs made one. Nāda (नाद) and bindu (बिन्दु) sit together again in the opening of the fourth chapter.
Split: prāṇāpānau (प्राणापानौ) nāda (नाद) + bindū (बिन्दू) mūla (मूल) + bandhena (बन्धेन) caikatām (चैकताम्) / gatvā (गत्वा) yogasya (योगस्य) saṃsiddhiṃ (संसिद्धिं) yacchato (यच्छतो) nātra (नात्र) saṃśayaḥ (संशयः)
