Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
घटादौ यच् च विज्ञानमिच्छाद्यं वा ममान्तरे ।
नैव सर्वगतं जातम् भावयनिति सर्वगः ghaṭādau yac ca vijñānam icchādyaṃ vā mamāntare |
naiva sarvagataṃ jātam bhāvayan iti sarvagaḥ
The line
Which knowing is in a pot and the rest, or which wish and the rest is inside me: contemplating thus, that this has indeed become gone everywhere, one is one who goes everywhere.
नेपालीमा
घडा आदिमा जुन विज्ञान छ, वा मभित्र इच्छा आदि छ, त्यो सर्वगत नभएको होइन। यसरी सम्झँदा स्वयं सर्वग हुन्छ।
Where it sits
The verse's na eva (न एव) is read with jātam (जातम्): it has not failed to be all-pervading. The pot has the same knowing. This is vijñāna (विज्ञान), the word of the title.
Split: ghaṭādau (घटादौ) + yat (यत्) + ca (च) + vijñānam (विज्ञानम्) + icchādyam (इच्छाद्यम्) + vā (वा) + mama (मम) + antare (अन्तरे) + na (न) + eva (एव) + sarvagatam (सर्वगतम्) + jātam (जातम्) + bhāvayan (भावयन्) + iti (इति) + sarvagaḥ (सर्वगः)

The phrases
The knowing that is in a pot and the rest, or the wish and the rest inside me: contemplating thus, that this has not failed to be gone everywhere, one is one who goes everywhere.
Sanskrit in this line
A relative yat (यत्) clause picks out the knowing in the pot and the knowing inside. iti (इति) closes the thought contemplated.
Say it back
Say where else, besides inside me, the verse finds knowing.
