Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
इन्द्रजालमयं विश्वं व्यस्तं वा चित्रकर्मवत् ।
भ्रमद् वा ध्यायतः सर्वम् पश्यतश् च सुखोद्गमः indrajālamayaṃ viśvaṃ vyastaṃ vā citrakarmavat |
bhramad vā dhyāyataḥ sarvam paśyataś ca sukhodgamaḥ
The line
For one meditating the universe as made of a magic show, or dispersed, or like a painting, or whirling, and for one seeing the whole, there is a rising of joy.
नेपालीमा
विश्वलाई इन्द्रजालमय, वा छरिएको, वा चित्रकर्म जस्तो, वा घुम्दो ध्यान गर्ने र सबै हेर्नेलाई सुखको उदय हुन्छ।
Where it sits
Indra (इन्द्र)'s net was the simile for the part-filled forms at 9. Here the universe itself is meditated that way, and the fruit is a rising of joy.
