Yoga Sūtra / Sādhana pāda
Sādhana pāda
Summary
The Sādhana (साधन) pāda (पाद) is the work. Kriyā (क्रिया) yoga is austerity, self study, and dedication to Īśvara (ईश्वर), for the sake of samādhi (समाधि) and for thinning the afflictions. Ignorance, I sense, desire, aversion, and clinging to life are those afflictions. Suffering not yet come is to be avoided, and its cause is the joining of seer and seen. The eight limbs are named, and this pāda (पाद) takes them through restraint, observance, posture, breath, and withdrawal.
नेपालीमा
साधनपाद काम हो। क्रियायोग तप, स्वाध्याय र ईश्वरप्रणिधान हो, समाधिका लागि र क्लेश पातला पार्नका लागि। अविद्या, अस्मिता, राग, द्वेष र अभिनिवेश ती क्लेश हुन्। नआएको दुःख हटाउनुपर्ने हो, र त्यसको कारण द्रष्टा र दृश्यको संयोग हो। आठ अङ्गको नाम लिइन्छ, र यो पादले तिनलाई यम, नियम, आसन, श्वास र प्रत्याहारसम्म पुर्याउँछ।
Every line of this pāda, in order
2.1-2.2
Summary
These two lines define kriyā (क्रिया) yoga. Austerity, self study, and dedication to Īśvara (ईश्वर). It is for bringing samādhi (समाधि) about and for making the afflictions thin.
नेपालीमा
यी दुई पङ्क्तिले क्रियायोगको परिभाषा दिन्छन्। तप, स्वाध्याय र ईश्वरप्रणिधान। यो समाधि ल्याउन र क्लेश पातला पार्नका लागि हो।
2.3-2.11
Summary
These lines are the afflictions. Ignorance, I sense, desire, aversion, and clinging to life. Ignorance is the field of the others. It sees the impermanent, the impure, the painful, and the not self as their opposites. The subtle afflictions are let go by resolving them back. Their activities are let go by meditation.
नेपालीमा
यी पङ्क्ति क्लेश हुन्। अविद्या, अस्मिता, राग, द्वेष र अभिनिवेश। अविद्या अरूको क्षेत्र हो। अनित्य, अशुचि, दुःख र अनात्मालाई तिनको उल्टो देख्छ। सूक्ष्म क्लेश प्रतिप्रसवले छुट्छन्। तिनका वृत्ति ध्यानले छुट्छन्।
2.12-2.17
Summary
These lines are suffering and the part still coming. The store of action, rooted in the afflictions, ripens as birth, span, and experience. For the discerning, everything is suffering, because of change, anguish, impressions, and the conflict of the strands. Suffering not yet come is to be avoided. The cause is the joining of seer and seen.
नेपालीमा
यी पङ्क्ति दुःख र अझ आउने भाग हुन्। क्लेशमा जरा गाडेको कर्माशय जन्म, आयु र भोगका रूपमा पाक्छ। विवेकीका लागि सबै दुःख हो, परिणाम, ताप, संस्कार र गुणको घर्षणले। नआएको दुःख हटाउनुपर्ने हो। कारण द्रष्टा र दृश्यको संयोग हो।
2.18-2.27
Summary
These lines are the seen, the seer, and the end of the joining. The seen is for experience and for release. The seer is seeing only. The joining's cause is ignorance. When that is absent, release is the aloneness of the seer. Unwavering discernment is the means, and for that one insight has a sevenfold last ground.
नेपालीमा
यी पङ्क्ति दृश्य, द्रष्टा र संयोगको अन्त्य हुन्। दृश्य भोग र अपवर्गका लागि हो। द्रष्टा केवल दर्शन हो। संयोगको कारण अविद्या हो। त्यो नहुँदा मोक्ष द्रष्टाको कैवल्य हो। अविप्लव विवेक साधन हो, र त्यसका लागि प्रज्ञाको सात प्रकारको अन्तिम भूमि हुन्छ।
2.28-2.29
Summary
These two lines name the limbs. From practicing them, as impurity dwindles, the lamp of knowledge shines up to discernment. The eight are restraint, observance, posture, breath regulation, withdrawal, holding, meditation, and samādhi (समाधि).
नेपालीमा
यी दुई पङ्क्तिले अङ्गहरूको नाम लिन्छन्। अभ्यासबाट मल पातलिँदै ज्ञानको दियो विवेकसम्म बल्छ। आठ अङ्ग यम, नियम, आसन, प्राणायाम, प्रत्याहार, धारणा, ध्यान र समाधि हुन्।
2.30-2.45
Summary
These lines are restraint and observance. Non harm, truth, non stealing, continence, and non grasping are a great vow, not cut by birth, place, time, or circumstance. Cleanliness, contentment, austerity, self study, and dedication to Īśvara (ईश्वर) are the observances. When a contrary idea presses in, the opposite is cultivated. Each established vow is given a fruit the sūtra (सूत्र) states.
नेपालीमा
यी पङ्क्ति यम र नियम हुन्। अहिंसा, सत्य, अस्तेय, ब्रह्मचर्य र अपरिग्रह जाति, देश, काल र समयले नकाटिने महाव्रत हुन्। शौच, सन्तोष, तप, स्वाध्याय र ईश्वरप्रणिधान नियम हुन्। उल्टो विचार आए उल्टो भावना गरिन्छ। हरेक स्थिर व्रतलाई सूत्रले फल दिन्छ।
2.46-2.55
Summary
These lines are posture, breath, and withdrawal. Posture is what is steady and easeful, by relaxing effort and by coinciding with the endless. Breath regulation, once posture is in place, cuts the movement of inhalation and exhalation. The words name the activity. They are not a drill. Withdrawal is the senses, as it were, taking the mind's own form by not joining their objects.
नेपालीमा
यी पङ्क्ति आसन, श्वास र प्रत्याहार हुन्। आसन स्थिर र सुख हो, प्रयास खुकुल्याएर र अनन्तसँग मिलेर। आसन बसेपछि प्राणायामले श्वासप्रश्वासको गति काट्छ। शब्दले वृत्ति बताउँछ। ती अभ्यासको तालिका होइनन्। प्रत्याहार इन्द्रियले विषय नजोडेर मनकै रूप लिएझैँ हो।
