Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā / 4.89 Wherever it first rests
4.89
Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
यत्र कुत्रापि वा नादे लगति प्रथमं मनः ।
तत्रैव सुस्थिरीभूय तेन सार्धं विलीयते yatra kutrāpi vā nāde lagati prathamaṃ manaḥ |
tatraiva susthirībhūya tena sārdhaṃ vilīyate
The line
Wherever the mind first rests on a nāda (नाद), becoming well steady right there, it dissolves together with that sound.
नेपालीमा
मन जुन नादमा पहिले अडिन्छ, ठीक त्यहीँ राम्ररी स्थिर भएर, त्यो त्यस आवाजसँगै लीन हुन्छ।
Where it sits
The first resting place is enough. Dissolution is with the sound, not after leaving it.

The quarters run 16, 16 syllables. A hyphen in the split is a compound joint, a teaching mark, and the voice joins it.
Say it back
Cover the English and say the verse in one sentence. Wherever the mind first rests on a nāda (नाद), becoming well steady right there, it dissolves together with that sound.
