4.102
Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
यत् किंचिन् नादरूपेण श्रूयते शक्तिरेव सा ।
यस् तत्त्वान्तो निराकारः स एव परमेश्वरः yat kiṃcin nādarūpeṇa śrūyate śaktir eva sā |
yas tattvānto nirākāraḥ sa eva parameśvaraḥ
The line
Whatever is heard in the form of nāda (नाद) is śakti (शक्ति) herself. The one at the end of the tattva, without form, is the supreme lord.
नेपालीमा
नादको रूपमा जे सुनिन्छ त्यो शक्ति आफैँ हुन्। तत्त्वको अन्त्यमा रहेको, रूप नभएको, परम प्रभु हो।
Where it sits
A pair inside the hearing. The heard sound is śakti (शक्ति). The formless one at the end of the truth is parameśvara (परमेश्वर). They sit in one verse.
