The line
Taught by Ādinātha (आदिनाथ), divine, giver of the eight lordships, dear to all the siddhas, hard to obtain even for the gods.
नेपालीमा
आदिनाथले सिकाएको, दिव्य, आठ ऐश्वर्य दिने, सबै सिद्धलाई प्रिय, देवताहरूलाई समेत पाउन गाह्रो।
Where it sits
The eight aiśvarya (ऐश्वर्य) are the lordships. The verse does not list them here. Marut (मरुत्) is a god, one of the wind-gods.
Split: ādināthoditaṃ (आदिनाथोदितं) divyam (दिव्यम्) aṣṭaiśvarya (अष्टैश्वर्य) + pradāyakam (प्रदायकम्) / vallabhaṃ (वल्लभं) sarva (सर्व) + siddhānāṃ (सिद्धानां) durlabhaṃ (दुर्लभं) marutām (मरुताम्) api (अपि)
