Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
चलासने स्थितस्याथ शनैर् वा देहचालनात् ।
प्रशान्ते मानसे भावे देवि दिव्यौघमाप्नुयात् calāsane sthitasyātha śanair vā dehacālanāt |
praśānte mānase bhāve devi divyaugham āpnuyāt
The line
Of one staying on a moving seat, or from a slow swaying of the body, O Goddess, when the mental state is quiet, one would obtain a flood of the divine.
नेपालीमा
चल्दो आसनमा बसेकोको, वा शरीर बिस्तारै हल्लिएबाट, हे देवी, मानस भाव शान्त हुँदा दिव्य बाढी पाउँछ।
Where it sits
The moving seat and the swaying are the verse's conditions. The quiet mental state is the moment of the fruit. The page stays with the sentence.
