Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā / 3.72 The nectar stays out of the fire
3.72
Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
जालन्धरे कृते बन्धे कण्ठसंकोचलक्षणे ।
न पीयूषं पतत्यग्नौ न च वायुः प्रकुप्यति jālandhare kṛte bandhe kaṇṭhasaṃkocalakṣaṇe |
na pīyūṣaṃ pataty agnau na ca vāyuḥ prakupyati
The line
When the jālandhara (जालन्धर) bandha is done, the one whose mark is the contraction of the throat, the verse says the nectar does not fall into the fire, and the wind is not disturbed.
नेपालीमा
कण्ठको संकोच चिह्न भएको जालन्धर बन्ध गरिँदा श्लोकले अमृत अग्निमा खस्दैन र वायु विचलित हुँदैन भन्छ।
Where it sits
The na (न) is the verse's own. 3.77 says what happens when the nectar does fall.
