Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)

झगितीच्छां समुत्पन्नामवलोक्य शमं नयेत् ।
यत एव समुद्भूता ततस् तत्रैव लीयते
jhagitīcchāṃ samutpannām avalokya śamaṃ nayet |
yata eva samudbhūtā tatas tatraiva līyate

The line

Having looked at a wish the instant it has arisen, one should lead it to peace. From the very place it arose, there itself it is dissolved.

नेपालीमा

झट्ट उठेको इच्छालाई हेरेर शान्तिमा लैजानु। जहाँबाट उब्जेको हो, त्यहीँ लीन हुन्छ।

Where it sits

The wish is not refused by a second wish. It is looked at, and it dissolves where it arose.

Split: jhagitī (झगिती) + icchām (इच्छाम्) + samutpannām (समुत्पन्नाम्) + avalokya (अवलोक्य) + śamam (शमम्) + nayet (नयेत्) + yataḥ (यतः) + eva (एव) + samudbhūtā (समुद्भूता) + tataḥ (ततः) + tatra (तत्र) + eva (एव) + līyate (लीयते)
