Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
सदा नादानुसन्धानात् क्षीयन्ते पापसंचयाः ।
निरञ्जने विलीयेते निश्चितं चित्तमारुतौ sadā nādānusandhānāt kṣīyante pāpasaṃcayāḥ |
nirañjane vilīyete niścitaṃ cittamārutau
The line
From the constant search of nāda (नाद), the heaps of pāpa (पाप) waste away. Mind and wind dissolve in the stainless, for certain.

नादको निरन्तर खोजबाट पापका थुप्रा क्षीण हुन्छन्। मन र वायु निश्चय निर्मलमा लीन हुन्छन्।
