Kshurika Upanishad: Verse 18
छिद्यते ध्यानयोगेन सुषुम्नैका न छिद्यते । योगनिर्मलधारेण क्षुरेणानलवर्चसा ॥ छिन्देन्नाडीशतं धीरः प्रभावादिह जन्मनि । जातीपुष्पसमायोगैर्यथा वास्यति तैलितम् ॥
छिद्यते । ध्यान-योगेन । सुषुम्ना-एका । न । छिद्यते ॥ योग-निर्मल-धारेण । क्षुरेण । अनल-वर्चसा ॥ छिन्देत् । नाडि-शतम् । धीरः । प्रभावात् । इह । जन्मनि ॥ जाती-पुष्प-समायोगैः । यथा । वास्यति । तैलितम् ॥
chidyate dhyānayogena suṣumnāikā na chidyate | yoganirmaladhāreṇa kṣureṇānalavarcāsā || chindennāḍīśataṃ dhīraḥ prabhāvād iha janmani | jātīpuṣpasamāyogair yathā vāsyati tailitam ||
ध्यान से योगी रास्ते काट देता है, बस सुषुम्ना नहीं काटती। योग से जो चाकू साफ़ होता है, आग जैसी चमक होती है, उस्से सौ नाड़ियाँ काटनी चाहिए। इसी जन्म में, जैसे चमेली के फूल से तेल में खुशबू आती है।
By the yoga of meditation (the knots/obstructions) are cut; suṣumnā alone is not cut. With the razor—having the lustre of fire—(namely) the stream made pure by yoga, the steadfast one should cut the hundred nāḍīs by its power here in this very life, just as oil is perfumed by contact with jasmine flowers.
- suṣumnāikā = suṣumnā + ekā
- yoganirmaladhāreṇa = yoga-nirmala-dhāreṇa
- kṣureṇānalavarcāsā = kṣureṇa + anala-varcasā
- chindennāḍīśatam = chindet + nāḍī-śatam
- jātīpuṣpasamāyogair = jātī-puṣpa-samāyogaiḥ
