Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
अन्तःस्वानुभवानन्दा विकल्पोन्मुक्तगोचरा ।
यावस्था भरिताकारा भैरवी भैरवात्मनः antaḥsvānubhavānandā vikalponmuktagocarā |
yāvasthā bharitākārā bhairavī bhairavātmanaḥ
The line
The state whose bliss is one's own inner experience, whose range is free of constructing, whose form is fullness: that is Bhairavī (भैरवी), of the one whose self is Bhairava (भैरव).
नेपालीमा
आफ्नै भित्री अनुभवको आनन्द भएको, विकल्पबाट मुक्त गोचर भएको, पूर्णरूप भएको जुन अवस्था हो, त्यही भैरव स्वभाव भएकाकी भैरवी हो।
Where it sits
This is his name for the state. 16 calls it a body. 23 will ask by what means it is found. The Śiva Sūtra (शिव सूत्र) had called consciousness the self. This verse calls the full state Bhairavī (भैरवी).
Split: antaḥsvānubhavānandā (अन्तःस्वानुभवानन्दा) + vikalponmuktagocarā (विकल्पोन्मुक्तगोचरा) + yā (या) + avasthā (अवस्था) + bharitākārā (भरिताकारा) + bhairavī (भैरवी) + bhairavātmanaḥ (भैरवात्मनः)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| antaḥsvānubhavānandā (अन्तःस्वानुभवानन्दा) | nominative singular, feminine | whose bliss is one's own inner experience. antas (अन्त) is within. sva (स्व) is one's own. anubhava (अनुभव) is experience. ānanda (आनन्द) is bliss. |
| vikalponmuktagocarā (विकल्पोन्मुक्तगोचरा) | nominative singular, feminine | whose range is released from vikalpa (विकल्प). gocara (गोचर) is a range. |
| yā (या) | nominative singular, feminine | which. |
| avasthā (अवस्था) | nominative singular, feminine | state. |
| bharitākārā (भरिताकारा) | nominative singular, feminine | whose form is fullness. bharita (भरित) is filled. ākāra (आकार) is form. |
| bhairavī (भैरवी) | nominative singular, feminine | Bhairavī (भैरवी), the feminine of Bhairava (भैरव). |
| bhairavātmanaḥ (भैरवात्मनः) | genitive singular, masculine | of the one whose self is Bhairava (भैरव). |
The phrases
Four feminine nominatives describe one avasthā (अवस्था). bhairavī (भैरवी) is the predicate. bhairavātmanaḥ (भैरवात्मनः) is the genitive of the one she belongs to.
Sanskrit in this line
yā avasthā (या अवस्था) joins as yāvasthā (यावस्था). Two vowels of the same kind stay one long ā (आ) in the recitation, and the split keeps the pronoun and the noun.
