नित्यो विभुर् निराधारो व्यापकश् चाखिलाधिपः ।
शब्दान् प्रतिक्षणं ध्यायन् कृतार्थोऽर्थानुरूपतः nityo vibhur nirādhāro vyāpakaś cākhilādhipaḥ |
śabdān pratikṣaṇaṃ dhyāyan kṛtārtho 'rthānurūpataḥ
The line
Eternal, all-pervading, supportless, pervasive, and lord of the whole: meditating the words moment by moment, one is accomplished, in keeping with the meaning.
नेपालीमा
नित्य, विभु, निराधार, व्यापक र सिंगोका अधिपति। यी शब्द क्षणक्षण ध्यान गर्दा अर्थअनुसार कृतार्थ हुन्छ।
Where it sits
The five nominatives are the words meditated. kṛtārtha (कृतार्थ) is the fruit: the aim is done.
Split: nityaḥ (नित्यः) + vibhuḥ (विभुः) + nirādhāraḥ (निराधारः) + vyāpakaḥ (व्यापकः) + ca (च) + akhilādhipaḥ (अखिलाधिपः) + śabdān (शब्दान्) + pratikṣaṇam (प्रतिक्षणम्) + dhyāyan (ध्यायन्) + kṛtārthaḥ (कृतार्थः) + arthānurūpataḥ (अर्थानुरूपतः)
