The line
The wind, because it is gathered, together with the fire, having woken kuṇḍalinī (कुण्डलिनी), should enter the suṣumṇā (सुषुम्णा) without restraint.
नेपालीमा
जम्मा भएकाले वायुले अग्निसँगै कुण्डलिनीलाई जगाएर रोकावटबिना सुषुम्णामा पस्नुपर्छ।
Where it sits
Anirodhataḥ (अनिरोधतः) is without the restraint, once she is awake. The entering is the verse's instruction.
