Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
मृद्वासने स्फिजैकेन हस्तपादौ निराश्रयम् ।
निधाय तत्प्रसङ्गेन परा पूर्णा मतिर् भवेत् mṛdvāsane sphijaikena hastapādau nirāśrayam |
nidhāya tatprasaṅgena parā pūrṇā matir bhavet
The line
On a soft seat, having placed hands and feet without a support, by one hip, by that occasion the mind would become supreme and full.
नेपालीमा
नरम आसनमा एउटै नितम्बले टेकेर, हात र खुट्टा आड नदिई राख्दा, त्यही अवसरले बुद्धि परा र पूर्ण हुन्छ।
Where it sits
The seat and the hip are the verse's words. The fruit it names is a full mind. The page stays with the sentence.
