Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
तन्त्र्यादिवाद्यशब्देषु दीर्घेषु क्रमसंस्थितेः ।
अनन्यचेताः प्रत्यन्ते परव्योमवपुर् भवेत् tantryādivādyaśabdeṣu dīrgheṣu kramasaṃsthiteḥ |
ananyacetāḥ pratyante paravyomavapur bhavet
The line
In the long sounds of a lute and the other instruments, from resting in the sequence, with the mind on nothing else, at the end of the note one would become a body of the supreme sky.
नेपालीमा
तन्त्री आदि वाद्यका लामो शब्दमा, क्रममा अडिएर, अर्कोतिर मन नलगाई, स्वरको अन्त्यमा पर व्योम शरीर हुन्छ।
Where it sits
This is the verse that meets the music. A long note has an end. The verse puts the supreme sky at that end. The page stays with the sentence. It belongs after Sangeet Yatra because the rooms are full of notes, and this line is about the end of a note.
Split: tantryādivādyaśabdeṣu (तन्त्र्यादिवाद्यशब्देषु) + dīrgheṣu (दीर्घेषु) + kramasaṃsthiteḥ (क्रमसंस्थितेः) + ananyacetāḥ (अनन्यचेताः) + pratyante (प्रत्यन्ते) + paravyomavapus (परव्योमवपु) + bhavet (भवेत्)
