Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)

रुद्रशक्तिसमावेशस् तत् क्षेत्रम् भावना परा ।
अन्यथा तस्य तत्त्वस्य का पूजा काश् च तृप्यति rudraśaktisamāveśas tat kṣetram bhāvanā parā |
anyathā tasya tattvasya kā pūjā kāś ca tṛpyati

The line

The entering of Rudra (रुद्र)'s śakti (शक्ति), that is the field. Contemplation is supreme. Otherwise, of that reality, what is the worship, and who is satisfied?

नेपालीमा

रुद्रशक्तिको समावेश, त्यही क्षेत्र हो। भावना परा हो। नत्र त्यो तत्त्वको पूजा के, र को तृप्त हुन्छ?

Where it sits

The field, kṣetra (क्षेत्र), is a word the rites use for a sacred place. He gives it this meaning. The questions of 16 return as what remains otherwise.

Split: rudraśaktisamāveśaḥ (रुद्रशक्तिसमावेशः) + tat (तत्) + kṣetram (क्षेत्रम्) + bhāvanā (भावना) + parā (परा) + anyathā (अन्यथा) + tasya (तस्य) + tattvasya (तत्त्वस्य) + kā (का) + pūjā (पूजा) + kā (का) + ca (च) + tṛpyati (तृप्यति)
