Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
मध्यजिह्वे स्फारितास्ये मध्ये निक्षिप्य चेतनाम् ।
होच्चारं मनसा कुर्वंस् ततः शान्ते प्रलीयते madhyajihve sphāritāsye madhye nikṣipya cetanām |
hoccāraṃ manasā kurvaṃs tataḥ śānte pralīyate
The line
On the middle of the tongue, in the opened mouth, having cast awareness in the middle, doing the sounding of ha (ह) by the mind, one is then dissolved in the peaceful.
नेपालीमा
जिब्रोको बीचमा, मुख फारेर, बीचमा चेतना राखेर, मनले ह को उच्चार गर्दा शान्तमा लीन हुन्छ।
Where it sits
The syllable is ha (ह). The verse says the sounding is done by the mind. The page stays with the sentence.
Split: madhyajihve (मध्यजिह्वे) + sphāritāsye (स्फारितास्ये) + madhye (मध्ये) + nikṣipya (निक्षिप्य) + cetanām (चेतनाम्) + hoccāram (होच्चारम्) + manasā (मनसा) + kurvan (कुर्वन्) + tataḥ (ततः) + śānte (शान्ते) + pralīyate (प्रलीयते)
