अयं योगः पुण्यवतां धीराणां तत्त्वदर्शिनाम् ।
निर्मत्सराणां वै सिध्येन् न तु मत्सरशालिनाम् ayaṃ yogaḥ puṇyavatāṃ dhīrāṇāṃ tattvadarśinām |
nirmatsarāṇāṃ vai sidhyen na tu matsaraśālinām
The line
This yoga succeeds for the meritorious, the steadfast, the seers of truth, the ones without envy. The verse says it does not succeed for those who possess envy.
नेपालीमा
यो योग पुण्यवान्, स्थिर, सत्य देख्ने र ईर्ष्या नभएकाका लागि सिद्ध हुन्छ। श्लोकले ईर्ष्या भएकाका लागि यो सिद्ध हुँदैन भन्छ।
Where it sits
The na tu (न तु) is the verse's own, said of the envious.
