Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
शक्त्यवस्थाप्रविष्टस्य निर्विभागेन भावना ।
तदासौ शिवरूपी स्यात् शैवी मुखमिहोच्यते śaktyavasthāpraviṣṭasya nirvibhāgena bhāvanā |
tadāsau śivarūpī syāt śaivī mukham ihocyate
The line
For one who has entered the state of śakti (शक्ति), contemplation goes without a division. Then he would be one whose form is Śiva (शिव). Here the śaiva (शैव) Goddess is called the entrance.
नेपालीमा
शक्तिको अवस्थामा पसेकाको भावना विभागविहीन हुन्छ। तब उनी शिवरूपी हुन्छन्। यहाँ शैव देवीलाई मुख, अर्थात् प्रवेशद्वार, भनिन्छ।
Where it sits
