उद्यमो भैरवः udyamo bhairavaḥ
The line
The rising is Bhairava.
नेपालीमा

Where it sits
After three lines on bondage, the book names a rising and calls it Bhairava. The Spanda Kārikā (स्पन्द कारिका) is a later book. The word here is udyama (उद्यम).
Split: udyamaḥ (उद्यमः) + bhairavaḥ (भैरवः)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| udyamaḥ (उद्यमः) | nominative singular, masculine | a rising, a surge upward. ut (उत्) is up. yama (यम) is a holding, a raising. |
| bhairavaḥ (भैरवः) | nominative singular, masculine | Bhairava, the name of Śiva (शिव) in this fierce, full form. |
The phrases
Two nominatives. The rising is Bhairava. Later Trika writing calls the throb of consciousness spanda (स्पन्द). This line's word is udyama (उद्यम).
Sanskrit in this line
udyamaḥ (उद्यमः) stands before b (ब्). Visarga before a voiced consonant becomes o (ओ). The recited line is udyamo bhairavaḥ (उद्यमो भैरवः).

Undo the sandhi. Say the two nominatives.
