Vijñāna Bhairava / Verses 51–80 (उपदेश) / 62
62
Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
भावे त्यक्ते निरुद्धा चिन् नैव भावान्तरं व्रजेत् ।
तदा तन्मध्यभावेन विकसत्यति भावना bhāve tyakte niruddhā cin naiva bhāvāntaraṃ vrajet |
tadā tanmadhyabhāvena vikasatyati bhāvanā
The line
When a state is left, awareness, held back, should not go to another state. Then, by the state of that middle, contemplation opens wide.
नेपालीमा
भाव त्यागिँदा चेतना रोकिएर अर्को भावमा नजाओस्। तब त्यो मध्यभावले भावना फक्रन्छ।
Where it sits
This continues 61. The middle is what remains when awareness does not travel to the next state.
Split: bhāve (भावे) + tyakte (त्यक्ते) + niruddhā (निरुद्धा) + cit (चित्) + na (न) + eva (एव) + bhāvāntaram (भावान्तरम्) + vrajet (व्रजेत्) + tadā (तदा) + tanmadhyabhāvena (तन्मध्यभावेन) + vikasati (विकसति) + ati (अति) + bhāvanā (भावना)

The phrases
When a state is left, awareness is held and the verse's na (न) says she should not go to another state. Then contemplation opens by the state of that middle.
Sanskrit in this line
cit (चित्) is feminine, so niruddhā (निरुद्धा) takes the long ā (आ). The same word is citi (चिति) in later verses.
Say it back
Say where awareness does not go.
