शक्तिसंगमसंक्षुब्धशक्त्यावेशावसानिकम् ।
यत् सुखम् ब्रह्मतत्त्वस्य तत् सुखं स्वाक्यमुच्यते śaktisaṃgamasaṃkṣubdhaśaktyāveśāvasānikam |
yat sukham brahmatattvasya tat sukhaṃ svākyam ucyate
The line
The joy that belongs to the end of entering the śakti (शक्ति) shaken by the meeting of śakti (शक्ति): that joy of the reality of brahman (ब्रह्मन्) is called one's own joy.
नेपालीमा
शक्तिको सङ्गमले क्षुब्ध शक्तिको प्रवेशको अन्त्यमा जुन सुख हुन्छ, ब्रह्म तत्त्वको त्यो सुख आफ्नै भनिन्छ।
Where it sits
The verse names a sexual meeting, śaktisaṃgama (शक्तिसंगम), and calls the joy at its end the joy of brahman (ब्रह्मन्). The page stays with that sentence.
Split: śaktisaṃgamasaṃkṣubdha (शक्तिसंगमसंक्षुब्ध) + śaktyāveśāvasānikam (शक्त्यावेशावसानिकम्) + yat (यत्) + sukham (सुखम्) + brahmatattvasya (ब्रह्मतत्त्वस्य) + tat (तत्) + sukham (सुखम्) + svākyam (स्वाक्यम्) + ucyate (उच्यते)
