Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā / 4.30 A bliss, whatever the view
4.30
Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
सोऽयमेवास्तु मोक्षाख्यो मास्तु वापि मतान्तरे ।
मनःप्राणलये कश्चिदानन्दः सम्प्रवर्तते so'yam evāstu mokṣākhyo māstu vāpi matāntare |
manaḥprāṇalaye kaścid ānandaḥ sampravartate
The line
Let this be called release, or let it be so in another view. When mind and prāṇa (प्राण) dissolve, a certain bliss comes forth.
नेपालीमा
यसलाई मुक्ति भनियोस्, वा अर्को दृष्टिमा यस्तै होस्। मन र प्राण लीन हुँदा कुनै आनन्द निस्कन्छ।
Where it sits
The verse allows the name to vary and keeps the bliss. Māstu vā (मास्तु वा) is the verse's own leave-it-be.
Split: so'yam (सोऽयम्) evāstu (एवास्तु) mokṣākhyo (मोक्षाख्यो) māstu (मास्तु) vāpi (वापि) matāntare (मतान्तरे) / manaḥ (मनः) + prāṇa (प्राण) + laye (लये) kaścid (कश्चिद्) ānandaḥ (आनन्दः) sampravartate (सम्प्रवर्तते)
