समाधिसिद्धिरीश्वरप्रणिधानात्
samādhi-siddhir īśvara-praṇidhānāt
The line
From dedication to Īśvara (ईश्वर), the mastery that is samādhi (समाधि).
नेपालीमा
ईश्वरप्रणिधानबाट समाधि रूपको सिद्धि आउँछ।
Where it sits
The niyama fruits are complete. Kriyā (क्रिया) yoga's third member has samādhi (समाधि) as its fruit, which ties the second pāda (पाद) back to the first. Posture begins at 2.46. The restraints and observances are in place before the body is discussed. That order is the book's.
Split: samādhi (समाधि) + siddhiḥ (सिद्धिः) + īśvara (ईश्वर) + praṇidhānāt (प्रणिधानात्)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words

The phrases
From dedication to Īśvara (ईश्वर), the mastery that is samādhi (समाधि). siddhiḥ (सिद्धिः) before the vowel is recited siddhir (सिद्धिर्). The fruit of the last observance is the samādhi (समाधि) the dedication was offered as a way toward in 1.23.
Sanskrit in this line
iḥ (इः) before a vowel is ir (इर्) again: siddhir īśvara (सिद्धिरीश्वर). The ablative is the niyama pattern, “from.” Nothing else is new. The line is a lock between 1.23 and the limbs.
Say it back
Say 1.23 and 2.45 together. One is the way. One is the fruit of the limb.
