Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
ततो यातो वह्न्यपानौ प्राणमुष्णस्वरूपकम् ।
तेनात्यन्तप्रदीप्तस् तु ज्वलनो देहजस् तथा tato yāto vahnyapānau prāṇam uṣṇasvarūpakam |
tenātyantapradīptas tu jvalano dehajas tathā
The line
Then the fire and the apāna (अपान), having gone, meet prāṇa (प्राण), whose form is heat. By that the fire born of the body blazes very much.
नेपालीमा
त्यसपछि अग्नि र अपान गएर ताप रूपको प्राणलाई भेट्छन्। त्यसबाट शरीरबाट जन्मेको अग्नि अत्यन्त प्रज्वलित हुन्छ।
