मुक्तासने स्थितो योगी मुद्रां सन्धाय शाम्भवीम् ।
शृणुयाद् दक्षिणे कर्णे नादमन्तःस्थमेकधीः muktāsane sthito yogī mudrāṃ sandhāya śāmbhavīm |
śṛṇuyād dakṣiṇe karṇe nādam antaḥstham ekadhīḥ
The line
The yogin standing in muktāsana (मुक्तासन), having set the Śāmbhavī (शाम्भवी) mudrā (मुद्रा), one-pointed, should hear the nāda (नाद) that stands within, in the right ear.
नेपालीमा
मुक्तासनमा उभिएको योगी, शाम्भवी मुद्रा राखेर, एकाग्र भई, दाहिने कानमा भित्र उभिने नाद सुन्नुपर्छ।
Where it sits
The reading is antaḥstham (अन्तःस्थम्), standing within. Muktāsana (मुक्तासन) is a name of the siddha seat at 1.39. The sound is in the right ear. Yoga Sūtra (सूत्र) 1.27 is praṇava (प्रणव) as signifying sound. This nāda (नाद) is the one he hears.
