Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
चित्ताद्यन्तःकृतिर् नास्ति ममान्तर् भावयेदिति ।
विकल्पानामभावेन विकल्पैरुज्झितो भवेत् cittādyantaḥkṛtir nāsti mamāntar bhāvayed iti |
vikalpānām abhāvena vikalpair ujjhito bhavet
The line
One should contemplate thus: the inner organ, beginning with the mind, is not inside me. By the absence of constructings, one would become left by the constructings.
नेपालीमा
चित्त आदि अन्तःकरण मभित्र छैन, यसरी सम्झनु। विकल्पको अभावले विकल्पले छोडिएको हुन्छ।
Where it sits
The verse's na asti (न अस्ति) is the thought contemplated. The result is being left by vikalpa (विकल्प).
