Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
सर्वचिन्तां परित्यज्य सावधानेन चेतसा ।
नाद एवानुसन्धेयो योगसाम्राज्यमिच्छता sarvacintāṃ parityajya sāvadhānena cetasā |
nāda evānusandheyo yogasāmrājyam icchatā
The line
Leaving every thought, with a careful mind, nāda (नाद) alone is to be searched out by the one who wants the empire of yoga.
नेपालीमा
हरेक विचार छोडेर, सावधान मनले, योगको साम्राज्य चाहनेले नाद मात्र खोज्नुपर्छ।
Where it sits
Anusandhāna (अनुसन्धान) is the searching, the word in the name of the practice. Yoga-sāmrājya (योग-साम्राज्य) is the empire of yoga.
