Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
न द्वेषम् भावयेत् क्वापि न रागम् भावयेत् क्वचित् ।
रागद्वेषविनिर्मुक्तौ मध्ये ब्रह्म प्रसर्पति na dveṣam bhāvayet kvāpi na rāgam bhāvayet kvacit |
rāgadveṣavinirmuktau madhye brahma prasarpati
The line
One should not contemplate aversion anywhere, nor passion anywhere. In the middle, in the two freed from passion and aversion, brahman (ब्रह्मन्) spreads.
नेपालीमा
कहीँ पनि द्वेष सम्झनु हुँदैन, कहीँ पनि राग सम्झनु हुँदैन। राग र द्वेषबाट मुक्त दुवैको बीचमा ब्रह्म फैलिन्छ।
Where it sits
103 kept the mind out of pain and out of joy. This verse keeps contemplation off aversion and off passion. The middle is where brahman (ब्रह्मन्) spreads.
Split: na (न) + dveṣam (द्वेषम्) + bhāvayet (भावयेत्) + kva (क्व) + api (अपि) + na (न) + rāgam (रागम्) + bhāvayet (भावयेत्) + kvacit (क्वचित्) + rāgadveṣavinirmuktau (रागद्वेषविनिर्मुक्तौ) + madhye (मध्ये) + brahma (ब्रह्म) + prasarpati (प्रसर्पति)

The phrases
The verse's na (न) covers aversion and passion, anywhere. In the middle of the two that are freed from both, brahman (ब्रह्मन्) spreads.
Sanskrit in this line
vinirmuktau (विनिर्मुक्तौ) is dual. Passion and aversion are the two that have been left. madhye (मध्ये) is inside that dual.
Say it back
Say what spreads, and where.
