4.10
Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
विविधैरासनैः कुभैर् विचित्रैः करणैरपि ।
प्रबुद्धायां महाशक्तौ प्राणः शून्ये प्रलीयते vividhair āsanaiḥ kubhair vicitraiḥ karaṇair api |
prabuddhāyāṃ mahāśaktau prāṇaḥ śūnye pralīyate
The line
By various seats, by kubha, and by various acts as well, when the great śakti (शक्ति) is awake the prāṇa (प्राण) dissolves in the void.
नेपालीमा
विविध आसनले, कुभले, र विविध कर्मले पनि, महान् शक्ति जागृत हुँदा प्राण शून्यमा लीन हुन्छ।
Where it sits
Kubha (कुभ) is left as the verse's word among the means. The dissolution of prāṇa (प्राण) in the void is the fruit once she is awake.
Split: vividhair (विविधैर्) āsanaiḥ (आसनैः) kubhair (कुभैर्) vicitraiḥ (विचित्रैः) karaṇair (करणैर्) api (अपि) / prabuddhāyāṃ (प्रबुद्धायां) mahā (महा) + śaktau (शक्तौ) prāṇaḥ (प्राणः) śūnye (शून्ये) pralīyate (प्रलीयते)
