Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
सर्वावस्थाविनिर्मुक्तः सर्वचिन्ताविवर्जितः ।
मृतवत् तिष्ठते योगी स मुक्तो नात्र संशयः sarvāvasthāvinirmuktaḥ sarvacintāvivarjitaḥ |
mṛtavat tiṣṭhate yogī sa mukto nātra saṃśayaḥ
The line
Freed from every state, having left every thought, the yogin stands like the dead. He is released. The verse says there is no doubt here.
नेपालीमा
हरेक अवस्थाबाट मुक्त भएर, हरेक विचार छोडेर, योगी मृतझैँ उभिन्छ। ऊ मुक्त हुन्छ। श्लोकले यहाँ शङ्का छैन भन्छ।
Where it sits
Mṛtavat (मृतवत्) is like the dead. The corpse seat of 1.34 was a rest for the mind. Here the likeness is the standing of the one released.
