Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
वस्तुषु स्मर्यमाणेषु दृष्टे देशे मनस् त्यजेत् ।
स्वशरीरं निराधारं कृत्वा प्रसरति प्रभुः vastuṣu smaryamāṇeṣu dṛṣṭe deśe manas tyajet |
svaśarīraṃ nirādhāraṃ kṛtvā prasarati prabhuḥ
The line
On things being remembered, and on a place that was seen, one should leave the mind. Having made one's own body without a support, the lord spreads forth.
नेपालीमा
सम्झिइरहेका वस्तुमा र देखेको ठाउँमा मन छोड्नु। आफ्नो शरीर आड बिनाको बनाउँदा प्रभु फैलिन्छन्।
Where it sits
Memory and a seen place are enough. The mind is left there. The lord is the one who spreads.
Split: vastuṣu (वस्तुषु) + smaryamāṇeṣu (स्मर्यमाणेषु) + dṛṣṭe (दृष्टे) + deśe (देशे) + manaḥ (मनः) + tyajet (त्यजेत्) + svaśarīram (स्वशरीरम्) + nirādhāram (निराधारम्) + kṛtvā (कृत्वा) + prasarati (प्रसरति) + prabhuḥ (प्रभुः)
