Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
कूपादिके महागर्ते स्थित्वोपरि निरीक्षणात् ।
अविकल्पमतेः सम्यक् सद्यस् चित्तलयः स्फुटम् kūpādike mahāgarte sthitvopari nirīkṣaṇāt |
avikalpamateḥ samyak sadyas cittalayaḥ sphuṭam
The line
Having stood above a well and the like, a great pit, from looking, of one whose mind is free of constructing, dissolution of the mind comes fully, at once, clearly.
नेपालीमा
इनार आदि ठूलो खाल्डामाथि उभिएर हेरिँदा, अविकल्प मति भएकाको चित्तको लय तुरुन्त स्पष्ट हुन्छ।
Where it sits
A well and a pit are the verse's places. The fruit is dissolution of the mind. The sitting stops at that sentence.
