Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
उपविश्यासने सम्यग् बाहू कृत्वार्धकुञ्चितौ ।
कक्षव्योम्नि मनः कुर्वन् शममायाति तल्लयात् upaviśyāsane samyag bāhū kṛtvārdhakuñcitau |
kakṣavyomni manaḥ kurvan śamam āyāti tallayāt
The line
Having sat rightly on a seat, having made the two arms half bent, making the mind in the sky of the armpit, one comes to peace from that dissolution.
नेपालीमा
आसनमा राम्ररी बसेर पाखुरा आधा मोडेर, काखीको आकाशमा मन राख्दा, त्यो लयबाट शान्ति आउँछ।
Where it sits
The armpit's sky is the verse's place for the mind. The page stays with the sentence.
