Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
सर्वज्ञः सर्वकर्ता च व्यापकः परमेश्वरः ।
स एवाहं शैवधर्मा इति दार्ढ्याच् छिवो भवेत् sarvajñaḥ sarvakartā ca vyāpakaḥ parameśvaraḥ |
sa evāhaṃ śaivadharmā iti dārḍhyāc chivo bhavet
The line
The all-knower and the all-doer, the pervading supreme lord: he himself am I, one whose property is Śiva (शिव)'s. From the firmness of that thought, one would become Śiva (शिव).
नेपालीमा
सर्वज्ञ, सर्वकर्ता, व्यापक परमेश्वर, त्यही म हुँ, शैव धर्म भएको। यस दृढताले शिव हुन्छ।
Where it sits
The sentence before iti (इति) is a claim of identity. dārḍhyāt (दार्ढ्यात्) is what makes it hold. Firmness of mind was already the means at 34.
Split: sarvajñaḥ (सर्वज्ञः) + sarvakartā (सर्वकर्ता) + ca (च) + vyāpakaḥ (व्यापकः) + parameśvaraḥ (परमेश्वरः) + saḥ (सः) + eva (एव) + aham (अहम्) + śaivadharmā (शैवधर्मा) + iti (इति) + dārḍhyāt (दार्ढ्यात्) + śivaḥ (शिवः) + bhavet (भवेत्)

The phrases
The thought before iti (इति) is: the all-knower, the all-doer, the pervading supreme lord, he himself am I, one whose property is Śiva (शिव)'s. From the firmness of that, one would become Śiva (शिव).
Sanskrit in this line
saḥ eva aham (सः एव अहम्) recites sa evāham (स एवाहम्). aḥ (अः) before e (ए) drops the visarga, and a (अ) plus a (अ) of aham (अहम्) becomes long ā (आ).
