Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
विहाय निजदेहस्थं सर्वत्रास्मीति भावयन् ।
दृढेन मनसा दृष्ट्या नान्येक्षिण्या सुखी भवेत् vihāya nijadehasthaṃ sarvatrāsmīti bhāvayan |
dṛḍhena manasā dṛṣṭyā nānyekṣiṇyā sukhī bhavet
The line
Having left what stands in one's own body, contemplating thus, I am everywhere, by a firm mind and by a gaze that looks at nothing else, one would become joyful.
नेपालीमा
आफ्नो शरीरमा रहेको छाडेर, म सर्वत्र छु, यसरी दृढ मनले र अर्कोतिर नहेर्ने दृष्टिले सम्झँदा सुखी हुन्छ।
Where it sits
The thought before iti (इति) is sarvatra asmi (सर्वत्र अस्मि). The body-bound standing is what is left.
Split: vihāya (विहाय) + nijadehastham (निजदेहस्थम्) + sarvatra (सर्वत्र) + asmi (अस्मि) + iti (इति) + bhāvayan (भावयन्) + dṛḍhena (दृढेन) + manasā (मनसा) + dṛṣṭyā (दृष्ट्या) + na (न) + anyekṣiṇyā (अन्येक्षिण्या) + sukhī (सुखी) + bhavet (भवेत्)
