Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
माया विमोहिनी नाम कलायाः कलनं स्थितम् ।
इत्यादिधर्मं तत्त्वानां कलयन् न पृथग् भवेत् māyā vimohinī nāma kalāyāḥ kalanaṃ sthitam |
ityādidharmaṃ tattvānāṃ kalayan na pṛthag bhavet
The line
Māyā (माया) is bewildering by name. A fashioning of kalā (कला) stands. Fashioning this and the other properties of the realities, one would not become separate.
नेपालीमा
माया नामले विमोहिनी हो। कलाको कलना रहन्छ। तत्त्वका यस्ता धर्म कलना गर्दा पृथक् हुँदैन।
Where it sits
Here māyā (माया) is given a property: bewildering. The Śiva Sūtra (शिव सूत्र) used māyā (माया) for a failure to discriminate. This verse is defining it inside a list of properties, and the fruit is not becoming separate.
Split: māyā (माया) + vimohinī (विमोहिनी) + nāma (नाम) + kalāyāḥ (कलायाः) + kalanam (कलनम्) + sthitam (स्थितम्) + ityādi (इत्यादि) + dharmam (धर्मम्) + tattvānām (तत्त्वानाम्) + kalayan (कलयन्) + na (न) + pṛthak (पृथक्) + bhavet (भवेत्)
