Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
यत्र यत्राक्षमार्गेण चैतन्यं व्यज्यते विभोः ।
तस्य तन्मात्रधर्मित्वाच् चिल्लयाद् भरितात्मता yatra yatrākṣamārgeṇa caitanyaṃ vyajyate vibhoḥ |
tasya tanmātradharmitvāc cillayād bharitātmatā
The line
Wherever by a sense's path the consciousness of the pervading one is manifested, from having that alone as its property, from the dissolution of awareness, there is the state of a self that is fullness.
नेपालीमा
जहाँ जहाँ इन्द्रियको बाटोले विभुको चैतन्य प्रकट हुन्छ, त्यही मात्र धर्म भएकाले, चित्को लयबाट भरितात्मता हुन्छ।
Where it sits
caitanya (चैतन्य) is the first word of the Śiva Sūtra (शिव सूत्र): consciousness is the self. Here it is manifested on a sense's path, and the fruit is fullness, bharita (भरित), again.
Split: yatra (यत्र) + yatra (यत्र) + akṣamārgeṇa (अक्षमार्गेण) + caitanyam (चैतन्यम्) + vyajyate (व्यज्यते) + vibhoḥ (विभोः) + tasya (तस्य) + tanmātradharmitvāt (तन्मात्रधर्मित्वात्) + cillayāt (चिल्लयात्) + bharitātmatā (भरितात्मता)

Sanskrit in this line
tanmātra (तन्मात्र) here is tad (तद्) plus mātra (मात्र), only that. It is not yet the list of five subtle elements, though the same compound has that use elsewhere.
