निद्राभिभवेन्द्रियोपरमणमोहाइर्हवेत्सुप्तम् ।

The line
Sleep would come from the overpowering of the senses by sleep, from delusion. It is to be done by closing the eyes, by breathing out, and by talk as in a dream.
नेपालीमा
निद्राले इन्द्रिय दबिएर र मोहबाट निद्रा आउँछ। यसलाई आँखा बन्द गरेर, श्वास छोडेर र सपनामा जस्तो बोलीले गर्नुपर्छ।
Where it sits
The line is crowded in the file: nidrābhibhavendriyoparamaṇamohāirhavetsuptam (निद्राभिभवेन्द्रियोपरमणमोहाइर्हवेत्सुप्तम्). The readable words are sleep, the senses, delusion, and supta (सुप्त). The sitting takes it as dreaming-sleep, supta (सुप्त), which 6.20 listed. The acting in the second quarter is clear: closed eyes, the out-breath, and speech as of a dream.
