Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
अवध्यः सर्वशस्त्राणामशक्यः सर्वदेहिनाम् ।
अग्राह्यो मन्त्रयन्त्राणां योगी युक्तः समाधिना avadhyaḥ sarvaśastrāṇām aśakyaḥ sarvadehinām |
agrāhyo mantrayantrāṇāṃ yogī yuktaḥ samādhinā
The line
Unkillable by all weapons, impossible for all embodied beings, ungraspable by mantras and by yantras: the yogin joined to samādhi (समाधि).
नेपालीमा
सबै हतियारले मार्न नसकिने, सबै देहधारीका लागि असम्भव, मन्त्र र यन्त्रले समात्न नसकिने, समाधिमा जोडिएको योगी।
Where it sits
The verse's claims. Yantra (यन्त्र) is the device, the diagram.
Split: avadhyaḥ (अवध्यः) sarva (सर्व) + śastrāṇām (शस्त्राणाम्) aśakyaḥ (अशक्यः) sarva (सर्व) + dehinām (देहिनाम्) / agrāhyo (अग्राह्यो) mantra (मन्त्र) + yantrāṇāṃ (यन्त्राणां) yogī (योगी) yuktaḥ (युक्तः) samādhinā (समाधिना)
