Dhyanabindu Upanishad: Verse 23
ओङ्कारध्वनिनादेन वायोः संहरणान्तिकम् । यावद्बलं समादध्यात् सम्यङ्नादलयावधि ॥२३॥
ओङ्कार-ध्वनि-नादेन । वायोः । संहरण-अन्तिकम् । यावत्-बलम् । समादध्यात् । सम्यक् । नाद-लय-अवधि ॥२३॥
oṅkāradhvaninādena vāyoḥ saṃharaṇāntikam | yāvadbalaṃ samādadhyāt samyaṅ nādalayāvadhī ||23||
ओम की आवाज़ से साँस को अंदर खींचो, जैसे वो घर जा रही हो। जितना हो सके उतना ध्यान से करो, जब तक कि आवाज़ में ही मिल जाए।
By the sound-resonance of the syllable Oṃ, [one should bring] the vital air near to absorption (withdrawal); one should apply (gather) as much strength as [needed]—properly—up to the limit of dissolution into sound (nāda-laya).
- ओङ्कारध्वनिनादेन → ओङ्कार-ध्वनि-नादेन
- संहरणान्तिकम् → संहरण-अन्तिकम्
- सम्यङ्नादलयावधि → सम्यक् + नाद-लय-अवधि (क् + न → ङ्न)
