Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
एवमभ्यस्यतस् तस्य वायुमार्गे दिवानिशम् ।
अभ्यासाज् जीर्यते वायुर् मनस् तत्रैव लीयते evam abhyasyatas tasya vāyumārge divāniśam |
abhyāsāj jīryate vāyur manas tatraiva līyate
The line
For the one practicing so, day and night on the path of the wind, the wind ages by the practice, and the mind dissolves right there.
नेपालीमा
यसरी अभ्यास गर्नेका लागि, दिनरात वायुको बाटोमा, वायु अभ्यासले जीर्ण हुन्छ, र मन ठीक त्यहीँ लीन हुन्छ।
Where it sits
Jīryate (जीर्यते) is grows old, is digested. The wind is worn down by the practice.
