Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
स्ववदन्यशरीरेऽपि संवित्तिमनुभावयेत् ।
अपेक्षां स्वशरीरस्य त्यक्त्वा व्यापी दिनैर् भवेत् svavad anyaśarīre 'pi saṃvittim anubhāvayet |
apekṣāṃ svaśarīrasya tyaktvā vyāpī dinair bhavet
The line
Even in another body, like one's own, one should experience awareness. Having left regard for one's own body, one would become pervading, by days.
नेपालीमा
अर्काको शरीरमा पनि आफ्नै जस्तो संवित्ति अनुभव गर्नु। आफ्नो शरीरको अपेक्षा छाड्दा दिनहरूसँग व्यापी हुन्छ।
Where it sits
The electronic text prints a broken character before pi (पि). The line is anyaśarīre 'pi (अन्यशरीरेऽपि). The change, as at 51, comes dinaiḥ (दिनैः), with the days.
Split: svavat (स्ववत्) + anyaśarīre (अन्यशरीरे) + api (अपि) + saṃvittim (संवित्तिम्) + anubhāvayet (अनुभावयेत्) + apekṣām (अपेक्षाम्) + svaśarīrasya (स्वशरीरस्य) + tyaktvā (त्यक्त्वा) + vyāpī (व्यापी) + dinaiḥ (दिनैः) + bhavet (भवेत्)
