Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
सर्वे हठलयोपाया राजयोगस्य सिद्धये ।
राजयोगसमारूढः पुरुषः कालवञ्चकः sarve haṭhalayopāyā rājayogasya siddhaye |
rājayogasamārūḍhaḥ puruṣaḥ kālavañcakaḥ
The line
All the haṭha (हठ) means of laya are for the success of rāja (राज) yoga. The person mounted on rāja (राज) yoga is the one who slips past time.
नेपालीमा
लयका सबै हठ उपायहरू राज योगको सिद्धिका लागि हुन्। राज योगमा चढेको मानिस काललाई छलेर जान्छ।
Where it sits
The book's own close of the argument. 1.1 called haṭha (हठ) the stair. 1.58 gave the order that ends in this sound. 2.76 said the pair is practiced up to completion. Kāla-vañcaka (काल-वञ्चक) is the cheat of time, the one who slips past it.
