Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
अभ्यस्यमानो नादोऽयं बाह्यमावृणुते ध्वनिम् ।
पक्षाद् विक्षेपमखिलं जित्वा योगी सुखी भवेत् abhyasyamāno nādo'yaṃ bāhyam āvṛṇute dhvanim |
pakṣād vikṣepam akhilaṃ jitvā yogī sukhī bhavet
The line
This nāda (नाद), being practiced, covers the outer sound. In a fortnight, conquering every distraction, the yogin becomes happy.
नेपालीमा
यो नाद अभ्यास हुँदा बाहिरी आवाज ढाक्छ। एक पक्षमा हरेक विक्षेप जितेर योगी सुखी हुन्छ।
Where it sits
Pakṣa (पक्ष) is a fortnight. Bāhya dhvani (बाह्य ध्वनि) is the outer sound. The inner sound covers it.
