Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
अनागतायां निद्रायाम् प्रणष्टे बाह्यगोचरे ।
सावस्था मनसा गम्या परा देवी प्रकाशते anāgatāyāṃ nidrāyām praṇaṣṭe bāhyagocare |
sāvasthā manasā gamyā parā devī prakāśate
The line
When sleep has not yet come, and the outer range has vanished, that state is one the mind can reach, and the supreme Goddess shines.
नेपालीमा
निद्रा अझै नआउँदा, बाहिरी गोचर हराउँदा, त्यो अवस्थामा मन पुग्न सक्छ, र परा देवी चम्किनुहुन्छ।
Where it sits
The moment is specific: sleep not yet arrived, the outer world already gone.
Split: anāgatāyām (अनागतायाम्) + nidrāyām (निद्रायाम्) + praṇaṣṭe (प्रणष्टे) + bāhyagocare (बाह्यगोचरे) + sā (सा) + avasthā (अवस्था) + manasā (मनसा) + gamyā (गम्या) + parā (परा) + devī (देवी) + prakāśate (प्रकाशते)
