Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
घतादिभाजने दृष्टिम् भित्तिस् त्यक्त्वा विनिक्षिपेत् ।
तल्लयं तत्क्षणाद् गत्वा तल्लयात् तन्मयो भवेत् ghatādibhājane dṛṣṭim bhittis tyaktvā vinikṣipet |
tallayaṃ tatkṣaṇād gatvā tallayāt tanmayo bhavet
The line
In a pot or another vessel, having left the walls, one should cast the gaze. Having gone to that dissolution from that very moment, from that dissolution one would become made of that.
नेपालीमा
घडा आदि भाँडामा भित्ता छोडेर दृष्टि राख्नु। त्यसै क्षण त्यो लयमा पुगेर, त्यो लयबाट तन्मय हुन्छ।
Where it sits
A vessel was already enough at 33. Here the walls are what the gaze leaves.
