Samaadhi Mind

Vasishtha said—

 

परमार्थ-फले ज्ञाते मुक्तौ परिणतिं गते

paramArtha-phale jJAte muktau pariNatim gate |

बोधो ऽप्य् असद् भवत्य् आशु परमर्थो नोमृगः ॥७।४६।१॥

bodha:_api_asat_bhavati_Azu parama.artha:_mana:mRga: ||7|46|1||

.

when the highest fruit is known, and

maturity in Freedom comes,

realization, although it

is, in the highest sense, unreal,

comes to the deer-mirage-bound mind

.

paramArtha-phale jJAte - when the highest fruit is known =

muktau pariNatim gate - maturity in Freedom is come =

bodho 'py asad bhavati - realization though unreal becomes =

Azu paramArtho mano-mRga: - quickly the highest is the mind-deer

.

*vwv. 69/7.46.1. When the fruit that is the highest Truth is known and when liberation has arrived at fulfillment, even knowledge (or becoming awake to truth) becomes unreal immediately. The "Highest Truth" is (just) a seeking (or pursuit) by the mind.

*sv. When the fruit of the supreme truth has been gained and it has become liberation, even awareness becomes non-existent, as it were, since the mind is absorbed in the supreme truth.

*vlm. After the Supreme Being which is the object and fruit of meditation, is known as present in the mind, and the bliss of release from flesh is felt within all sensations are lost altogether, and the deer like mind becomes spiritualized into the Supreme essence.

.

 ##nam - #pariNam - *pariNati -f.- bending, bowing • change, transformation, natural development • ripeness, maturity • mature or old age •• result, consequence, issue, end, termination (ibc. finally, at last • <zravaNa-pariNatiM.##gam>, to come at last to a person's ears, reveal/discover • <pariNatiM-yA>, to attain one's final aim) • fulfilment (of a promise) •-• Comp. - *phalapariNati -f.- the ripeness of fruit ++

 

क्व.अपि सा मृगता याति प्रक्षीण-स्नेह=दीपवत्

kva_api sA mRgatA yAti prakSINa-sneha=dIpavat |

परमार्थ-दशा.एव आस्ते तत्र अनन्त.अवभासिनी ॥७।४६।२॥

paramArtha-dazA_eva_Aste tatra_ananta-avabhAsinI ||7|46|2||

.

kva api sA mRgatA yAti wherever its deership comes to mirageness

prakSINa-sneha-dIpavat diminished-oil-lamplike

paramArtha-dazA eva aste the highest state indeed is

tatra anantA avabhAsinI there boundless illumination

.

*vwv. 70/7.46. That seeking-nature vanishes somewhere like a lamp with its oil fully spent. Only the state of the Highest Truth (or Absolute Reality) remains there shining without end.

*sv. The deerness of the deer-mind vanishes, like a lamp without fuel. The supreme truth alone remains.

*vlm. It then loses its deership of browsing the thorns, as the extinguished lamp loses its flame; it assumes a spiritual form and shines with exhaustless blaze.

 

ध्यान-द्रुम-फल-प्राप्तौ बोधताम् आगतं मनः

dhyAna-druma-phala-prAptau bodhatAm Agatam mana: |

.

dhyAna-druma-phala-prAptau

in dhyAna-tree-fruit-getting

bodhatAm Agatam mana:

to-awakening having-come the-Mind

vajrasArAm sthitam dhatte

indra's thunderbolt was fixed

chinna-pakSe iva acala:

in broken-wings as a mountain as Indra's thunderbolt shattered the wings of the flying mountains.

*sv. The mind which has attained the fruit of meditation, which is self-knowledge, is firm like a thunderbolt (vajra).

*vlm. The mind in order to attain the fruit of its meditation, assumes a firmness resembling that of the mountains, after their wings were mutilated by the thunder bolts of Indra.

 

मनस्ता क्व.अपि संयाति तिष्ठत्य् अच्छा.एव बोधता

manastA kva_api saMyAti tiSThati_acchA_eva bodhatA |

निर्बाधा निर्विभागा सर्व.अखर्व.आत्मिका सती ॥७।४६।४॥

sarva.all/everything-akharva.unmutilated-Atmika.by.nature/character-A satI.really.so -

vibhAga.distinction/separation-

.

*vwv. 71/7.46.4. The mind-nature disappears somewhere. The Conscious nature (or Pure Awareness) remains quite clear, wthout disturbance and without division, as the All, having a nature which is not mutilated (or stunted) and absolutely Real.

*sv. The characteristic motion or restlessness of the mind goes away, who knows where. Illumination alone remains as pure consciousness without disturbance or division.

*vlm.4. Its mental faculties fly away from it, and there remains only its pure consciousness in it; which is irrepressible and indivisible and full with the supreme soul in itself.

 **kharva - mutilated, crippled, injured, imperfect • low, dwarfish • #kharvita- - (anything) that has become dwarfish ++

.

*vwv. 72/7.46.5. The entity that is the mind, risen with a nature that is completely separated (from the body and the like) on account of its enlightened nature (that is pure consciousness), is without beginning or end and produces the fruit of Pure Light (or Knowledge or Undifferentiated Consciousness).

*vlm.5. The mind being roused to its reasonableness, (from its former state of material dulness); now rises as the sentient soul, and dispensing its clear spiritual light, from its identity with the increate and endless One.

*sv. The characteristic motion or restlessness of the mind goes away, who knows where. Illumination alone remains as pure consciousness without disturbance or division.

anAdyanta.without beginning o&r end-  

anAyAsa.easy/without.exertion-

dhyAnam eva avaziSyate – meditative thot alone remains

.

*vwv. 73/7.46.6. Then, under those circumstances, quite spontaneously, only meditation (or absorption in the Supreme Spirit), which is effortless, without beginning or end and void of all seekings, is left remaining.

*vlm.6. It then remains in that state, in perfect freedom and from all wishes and attempts; it is assimilated with the everlasting spirit of God, in its form of eternal contemplation.

*sv.6-7 In that state, there is effortless dropping away of all desires, and effortless meditation alone remains. Unless and until Brahman is realised, one cannot rest in the self; until then meditation is impossible merely by thinking about the self, etc.

 

यावन् _अधिगतं ब्रह्म विश्रान्तं परे पदे

yAvat_na_adhigatam brahma na vizrAntam pare pade |

तावत् तन्मननत्वेन ध्यानम् अवगम्यते ॥७।४६।७॥

na vizrAntam pare pade

there's no repose in the Perfect State

tAvat - that.much

tan.mananatvena

thru That-mentation

na dhyAnam avagamyate – no meditation is to be understood.

*vlm.7. Until the great Brahma may be known, and our rest may be found in that Blessed state; so long the mind remains a stranger to meditation, by reason of its dwelling on other thought.

*sv.6-7 In that state, there is effortless dropping away of all desires, and effortless meditation alone remains. Unless and until Brahman is realised, one cannot rest in the self; until then meditation is impossible merely by thinking about the self, etc.

paramArtha-ekatAm

to the state of Oneness in the higher sense

etya na jAne x

kva mano gatam - where has Mind gone -  

kva vAsanA – where does the vAsanA Affect

kva karmANi - where does the karma Effect

kva harSAmarSa-saMvida: - x.

*vwv. 74/7.46.8. Having attained to oneness with the Highest Truth (or Absolute Reality), I do not know where the mind is gone and where desire, actions and the perceptions of joy and anger.

*sv.8 When the supreme truth is realised, the mind goes away, who knows where; and who knows how vasana or mental conditioning, karma, as also joy and despair disappear.

*vlm.8. After the mind has obtained its union with the supreme One, we know not whither the mind is fled; and where our wishes and actions, our joys and griefs, and all our knowledge fly away.

*sv. The yogi is then seen to be in a state of continuous and unbroken meditation, firmly established in adamantine meditation or samadhi (vajra-samadhana), like a mountain.

*vlm.10. Loathe to his sensual enjoyments, and blunt to all sensibilities; averse to the various sights and objects of senses, the yogi is pleased only with himself.

*vlm. With his sensations numbed by degrees, and his soul resting in tranquility; and his mind dead to the enticements of wealth and sensible objects; the yogi is pleased with himself.

*sv. When the yogi is disinterested in pleasure, when his senses are utterly peaceful and controlled, when he rests delighted in the self, when all his mental modifications have ceased what else is there to be done in the name of samadhi? When the yogi is unaware of the world as an object of observation, on account of the absence of mental conditioning, he cannot help remaining in vajra-samadhi (adamantine meditation), as if compelled by some other power.

*vlm.12. All men of right understanding, are fully aware of the tastelessness of the objects of sense; and remain like human figures in painting, without doting or looking upon them.

*sv. When the yogi is disinterested in pleasure, when his senses are utterly peaceful and controlled, when he rests delighted in the self, when all his mental modifications have ceased what else is there to be done in the name of samadhi? When the yogi is unaware of the world as an object of observation, on account of the absence of mental conditioning, he cannot help remaining in vajra-samadhi (adamantine meditation), as if compelled by some other power.

*vlm.14. The soul immerged in meditation, becomes as full as a river in the rainy season; and there is no power that can restrain the mind, which is fixed in its meditation.

*vwv.2090. That indeed is samAdhi when tastelessness in objects of enjoyment has perforce arrived in meditation, along with coolness (or calmness) in all affairs, on.account.of knowledge. It is not any other state.

*vlm. When the mind is immerged in deep meditation, by its cool apathy to all sensible objects, and feels an utter indifference to all worldly affairs, it is then said to be in its samádhi and no other.

*sv. When the yogi is disinterested in pleasure, when his senses are utterly peaceful and controlled, when he rests delighted in the self, when all his mental modifications have ceased what else is there to be done in the name of samadhi?

paripAkena x

.

*vwv.2089 – Highest desirelessness for objects of enjoyment is declared as samAdhi. Intense (or firm) tastelessness in objects of sense is alone declared as dhyAna (or meditation).

*sv. The mind is not distracted from it. When the mind is at peace because it is disinterested in worldly objects (having known the truth) that is samadhi, not else.

*vlm. It is a settled distaste to the objects of sense, that constitutes the pith and marrow of meditativeness; and the maturity of this habit, makes a man as compact as adamant.

that is this distaste for enjoyment

dhyAnam aGkuritam hi tat

since that is fruitive meditation +

tat_eva pITha-bandhena x

baddham bhavati bandhuram x

.

*vlm.17. It is therefore the distaste to worldly enjoyments, that is the germ of meditation, while it is the taste for such pleasures, which binds a man fastly to it.

*sv.17-18 Firm rejection of pleasure is meditation; when it reaches fruition it is vajra-sara (adamantine). Since this is also the state of perfect knowledge, it is known as nirvana or the blissful state.

*vwv.18/2091. Right knowledge which is lofty, with the desires abandoned forever, is meditation which has arrived at the state of Bliss that is nirvANa (or extinction of individuality and absorption in Absolute Consciousness).

*vlm.18. Full knowledge of truth, and the renunciation of every desire at all times; lead men to the nirvána meditation, and to the infinite joy of the divine state.

*sv.17-18 Firm rejection of pleasure is meditation; when it reaches fruition it is vajra-sara (adamantine). Since this is also the state of perfect knowledge, it is known as nirvana or the blissful state.

*vlm. If there is inappetency of enjoyments, why think of anything else? and if there be no such inappetency, what avails any other thought or meditation?

*vlm. The well intelligent sage who is freed from his relishing the visibles, is situated in his position of unflinching meditation, and in the enjoyment of his continuous reveries.

*sv. When there is perfect knowledge and at the same time disinterestedness in pleasure, unconditioned consciousness (nirvikalpa samadhi) follows naturally and effortlessly. He who is not swayed by craving for pleasure is known as perfectly enlightened (sambuddha). Such perfect enlightenment arises from complete turning away from the pursuit of pleasure.

.

*sv. He who rests in the self does not experience craving at all. Desire for pleasure-experience only arises when there is movement away from the self.

*vlm. He who is disposed to repose by nature, can have no inclination to enjoyments; it is unnatural to indulge in carnal enjoyments, but the subdued nature needs nothing to enjoy.

*vlm. Let men resort to their reflection, after their hearing of a lecture, reciting the scripture, and muttering the mantras and uttering their prayers; and when tired with meditation, let them return to their lectures and recitals.

*sv. At the conclusion of the study of scripture, japa, etc., one enters into samadhi; after the practice of samadhi, one should study, do japa, etc. O Rama, rest in the state of nirvANa at all times.

SAMÂDHI MIND

 

VASISHTHA THE PLENTIFUL said—

 

परमार्थ.फले ज्ञाते मुक्तौ परिणतिम् गते

paramArtha.phale jJAte muktau pariNatim gate |

बोधो_ऽप्य्_असत् भवत्य्_आशु परम.अथो नो.मृगः ॥७।४६।१॥

.

when the highest fruit is known, and

maturity in Freedom comes,

realization, although it

is, in the highest sense, unreal,

comes to the deer.mirage.bound mind

.

paramArtha.phale jJAte when the highest fruit is known

muktau pariNatim gate maturity in Freedom is come

bodho 'py asad bhavati realization though unreal becomes

Azu paramArtho mano.mRga: quickly the highest is the mind.deer.

.

*vwv.2269/7.46.1. Even the fruit that is the highest Truth is known and when liberation has arrived at fulfillment, even knowledge (or becoming awake to truth) becomes unreal immediately. The "Highest Truth" is (just) a seeking (or pursuit) by the mind.

*sv.1 VASISTHA continued: When the fruit of the supreme truth has been gained and it has become liberation, even awareness becomes non.existent, as it were, since the mind is absorbed in the supreme truth.

*vlm.1 Vasishtha Continued:—After the Supreme Being which is the object and fruit of meditation, is known as present in the mind, and the bliss of release from flesh is felt within all sensations are lost altogether, and the deer like mind becomes spiritualized into the Supreme essence.

  

क्व_अपि सा मृगता याति प्रक्षीण.स्नेह=दीपवत्

prakSINa.sneha.dIpavat diminished.oil.lamplike

paramArtha.dazA eva aste the highest state indeed is

tatra anantA avabhAsinI there boundless illumination

.

*vwv.2270/7.46.2. That seeking.nature vanishes somewhere like a lamp with its oil fully spent. Only the state of the Highest Truth (or Absolute Reality) remains there shining without end.

*sv.2 The deerness of the deer.mind vanishes, like a lamp without fuel. The supreme truth alone remains.

*vlm.2. It then loses its deership of browsing the thorns, as the extinguished lamp loses its flame; it assumes a spiritual form and shines with exhaustless blaze.

.

*sv.3 The mind which has attained the fruit of meditation, which is self.knowledge, is firm like a thunderbolt (vajra).

*vlm.3. The mind in order to attain the fruit of its meditation, assumes a firmness resembling that of the mountains, after their wings were mutilated by the thunder bolts of Indra.

*vwv.2271/7.46.4. The mind.nature disappears somewhere. The Conscious nature (or Pure Awareness) remains quite clear, wthout disturbance and without division, as the All, having a nature which is not mutilated (or stunted) and absolutely Real.

*sv.4.5 The characteristic motion or restlessness of the mind goes away, who knows where. Illumination alone remains as pure consciousness without disturbance or division.

*vlm.4. Its mental faculties fly away from it, and there remains only its pure consciousness in it; which is irrepressible and indivisible and full with the supreme soul in itself.

#kharva . mutilated, crippled, injured, imperfect • low, dwarfish • . m/n. . a large number (either 1010 or 1037) • #kharvita खर्वित adj. . (anything) that has become dwarfish Ks.51.1. .

su.viviktatayA citta.sattA bodhatayA_uditA anAdyantA bhavati accha.prakAza.phala.dAyinI . .

.

*vwv.2272/7.46.5. The entity that is the mind, risen with a nature that is completely separated (from the body and the like) on account of its enlightened nature (that is pure consciousness), is without beginning or end and produces the fruit of Pure Light (or Knowledge or Undifferentiated Consciousness).

*vlm.5. The mind being roused to its reasonableness, (from its former state of material dulness); now rises as the sentient soul, and dispensing its clear spiritual light, from its identity with the increate and endless One.

*sv.4.5 The characteristic motion or restlessness of the mind goes away, who knows where. Illumination alone remains as pure consciousness without disturbance or division.

anAyAsa.x.m dhyAna.meditation/thot.m eva.indeed\only/very avaziSy.ate – meditative thot alone remains

.

*vwv.2273/7.46.6. Then, under those circumstances, quite spontaneously, only meditation (or absorption in the Supreme Spirit), which is effortless, without beginning or end and void of all seekings, is left remaining.

*vlm.6. It then remains in that state, in perfect freedom and from all wishes and attempts; it is assimilated with the everlasting spirit of God, in its form of eternal contemplation.

*sv.6.7 In that state, there is effortless dropping away of all desires, and effortless meditation alone remains. Unless and until Brahman is realised, one cannot rest in the self; until then meditation is impossible merely by thinking about the self, etc.

*vlm.7. Until the great Brahma may be known, and our rest may be found in that Blessed state; so long the mind remains a stranger to meditation, by reason of its dwelling on other thought.

*sv.6.7 In that state, there is effortless dropping away of all desires, and effortless meditation alone remains. Unless and until Brahman is realised, one cannot rest in the self; until then meditation is impossible merely by thinking about the self, etc.

.

*vwv.2274/7.46.8. Having attained to oneness with the Highest Truth (or Absolute Reality), I do not know where the mind is gone and where desire, actions and the perceptions of joy and anger.

*sv.8 When the supreme truth is realised, the mind goes away, who knows where; and who knows how vasana or mental conditioning, karma, as also joy and despair disappear.

*vlm.8. After the mind has obtained its union with the supreme One, we know not whither the mind is fled; and where our wishes and actions, our joys and griefs, and all our knowledge fly away.

*sv.10.15 When the yogi is disinterested in pleasure, when his senses are utterly peaceful and controlled, when he rests delighted in the self, when all his mental modifications have ceased what else is there to be done in the name of samadhi? When the yogi is unaware of the world as an object of observation, on account of the absence of mental conditioning, he cannot help remaining in vajra.samadhi (adamantine meditation), as if compelled by some other power.

*vlm.12. All men of right understanding, are fully aware of the tastelessness of the objects of sense; and remain like human figures in painting, without doting or looking upon them.

*sv.10.15 When the yogi is disinterested in pleasure, when his senses are utterly peaceful and controlled, when he rests delighted in the self, when all his mental modifications have ceased what else is there to be done in the name of samadhi? When the yogi is unaware of the world as an object of observation, on account of the absence of mental conditioning, he cannot help remaining in vajra.samadhi (adamantine meditation), as if compelled by some other power.

*vlm.13. The man that is master of himself, and has mastery over his soul and mind; disdains to look upon earthly treasures, for his want of desire for them; he is firmly fixed in his abstraction, as if he were compelled to it by force of another.

*sv.10.15 When the yogi is disinterested in pleasure, when his senses are utterly peaceful and controlled, when he rests delighted in the self, when all his mental modifications have ceased what else is there to be done in the name of samadhi?

*vlm.14. The soul immerged in meditation, becomes as full as a river in the rainy season; and there is no power that can restrain the mind, which is fixed in its meditation.

*vwv.15/2090. That indeed is samAdhi when tastelessness in objects of enjoyment has perforce arrived in meditation, along with coolness (or calmness) in all affairs, on.account.of knowledge. It is not any other state.

*vlm.15. When the mind is immerged in deep meditation, by its cool apathy to all sensible objects, and feels an utter indifference to all worldly affairs, it is then said to be in its samádhi and no other.

*sv.10.15 When the yogi is disinterested in pleasure, when his senses are utterly peaceful and controlled, when he rests delighted in the self, when all his mental modifications have ceased what else is there to be done in the name of samadhi?

*vwv.2089/45.46a,46.16b – Highest desirelessness for objects of enjoyment is declared as samAdhi. Intense (or firm) tastelessness in objects of sense is alone declared as dhyAna (or meditation).

*sv.16 The mind is not distracted from it. When the mind is at peace because it is disinterested in worldly objects (having known the truth) that is samadhi, not else.

*vlm.16. It is a settled distaste to the objects of sense, that constitutes the pith and marrow of meditativeness; and the maturity of this habit, makes a man as compact as adamant.

*vlm.17. It is therefore the distaste to worldly enjoyments, that is the germ of meditation, while it is the taste for such pleasures, which binds a man fastly to it.

*sv.17.18 Firm rejection of pleasure is meditation; when it reaches fruition it is vajra.sara (adamantine). Since this is also the state of perfect knowledge, it is known as nirvana or the blissful state.

*vwv.18/2091. Right knowledge which is lofty, with the desires abandoned forever, is meditation which has arrived at the state of Bliss that is nirvANa (or extinction of individuality and absorption in Absolute Consciousness).

*vlm.18. Full knowledge of truth, and the renunciation of every desire at all times; lead men to the nirvána meditation, and to the infinite joy of the divine state.

*sv.17.18 Firm rejection of pleasure is meditation; when it reaches fruition it is vajra.sara (adamantine). Since this is also the state of perfect knowledge, it is known as nirvana or the blissful state.

*vlm.20. The well intelligent sage who is freed from his relishing the visibles, is situated in his position of unflinching meditation, and in the enjoyment of his continuous reveries.

*sv.20.21 When there is perfect knowledge and at the same time disinterestedness in pleasure, unconditioned consciousness (nirvikalpa samadhi) follows naturally and effortlessly. He who is not swayed by craving for pleasure is known as perfectly enlightened (sambuddha). Such perfect enlightenment arises from complete turning away from the pursuit of pleasure.

*sv.22 He who rests in the self does not experience craving at all. Desire for pleasure.experience only arises when there is movement away from the self.

*vlm.22. He who is disposed to repose by nature, can have no inclination to enjoyments; it is unnatural to indulge in carnal enjoyments, but the subdued nature needs nothing to enjoy.

*vlm.23. Let men resort to their reflection, after their hearing of a lecture, reciting the scripture, and muttering the mantras and uttering their prayers; and when tired with meditation, let them return to their lectures and recitals.

*sv.23.24 At the conclusion of the study of scripture, japa, etc., one enters into samadhi; after the practice of samadhi, one should study, do japa, etc. O Rama, rest in the state of nirvANa at all times.

VASISHTHA THE PLENTIFUL said—

 

परमार्थ.फले ज्ञाते मुक्तौ परिणतिम् गते बोधोऽप्यद्भवत्याशु परमाथो नोमृगः ॥७।४६।१॥

paramArtha.phale jJAte muktau pariNatim gate bodha: api asat bhavati Azu parama.artha: mana:mRga:

Azu.quickly paramArtha.better.sense: mana.Mind.:.mRga.deer:

quickly the higher/better is the mind.deer.

.

*vwv.2269/7.46.1. Even the fruit that is the highest Truth is known and when liberation has arrived at fulfillment, even knowledge (or becoming awake to truth) becomes unreal immediately. The "Highest Truth" is (just) a seeking (or pursuit) by the mind.

*sv.1 VASISTHA continued: When the fruit of the supreme truth has been gained and it has become liberation, even awareness becomes non.existent, as it were, since the mind is absorbed in the supreme truth.

*vlm.1 Vasishtha Continued:—After the Supreme Being which is the object and fruit of meditation, is known as present in the mind, and the bliss of release from flesh is felt within all sensations are lost altogether, and the deer like mind becomes spiritualized into the Supreme essence.

 

क्वापि सा मृगता याति प्रक्षीणस्नेहदीपवत् परमार्थदशैवास्ते त्रान्तावभासिनी ॥७।४६।२॥

tatra.there ananta.boundless/infinite.a avabhAs.overshine/illuminate.inI

there boundless illumination

.

*vwv.2270/7.46.2. That seeking.nature vanishes somewhere like a lamp with its oil fully spent. Only the state of the Highest Truth (or Absolute Reality) remains there shining without end.

*sv.2 The deerness of the deer.mind vanishes, like a lamp without fuel. The supreme truth alone remains.

*vlm.2. It then loses its deership of browsing the thorns, as the extinguished lamp loses its flame; it assumes a spiritual form and shines with exhaustless blaze.

.

*sv.3 The mind which has attained the fruit of meditation, which is self.knowledge, is firm like a thunderbolt (vajra).

*vlm.3. The mind in order to attain the fruit of its meditation, assumes a firmness resembling that of the mountains, after their wings were mutilated by the thunder bolts of Indra.

.

*vwv.2271/7.46.4. The mind.nature disappears somewhere. The Conscious nature (or Pure Awareness) remains quite clear, wthout disturbance and without division, as the All, having a nature which is not mutilated (or stunted) and absolutely Real.

*sv.4.5 The characteristic motion or restlessness of the mind goes away, who knows where. Illumination alone remains as pure consciousness without disturbance or division.

*vlm.4. Its mental faculties fly away from it, and there remains only its pure consciousness in it; which is irrepressible and indivisible and full with the supreme soul in itself.

#kharva . mutilated, crippled, injured, imperfect • low, dwarfish • . m/n. . a large number (either 1010 or 1037) • #kharvita खर्वित adj. . (anything) that has become dwarfish Ks.51.1. .

*vwv.2272/7.46.5. The entity that is the mind, risen with a nature that is completely separated (from the body and the like) on account of its enlightened nature (that is pure consciousness), is without beginning or end and produces the fruit of Pure Light (or Knowledge or Undifferentiated Consciousness).

*vlm.5. The mind being roused to its reasonableness, (from its former state of material dulness); now rises as the sentient soul, and dispensing its clear spiritual light, from its identity with the increate and endless One.

*sv.4.5 The characteristic motion or restlessness of the mind goes away, who knows where. Illumination alone remains as pure consciousness without disturbance or division.

anAyAsa.x.m dhyAna.meditation/thot.m eva.indeed\only/very avaziSy.ate – meditative thot alone remains

.

*vwv.2273/7.46.6. Then, under those circumstances, quite spontaneously, only meditation (or absorption in the Supreme Spirit), which is effortless, without beginning or end and void of all seekings, is left remaining.

*vlm.6. It then remains in that state, in perfect freedom and from all wishes and attempts; it is assimilated with the everlasting spirit of God, in its form of eternal contemplation.

*sv.6.7 In that state, there is effortless dropping away of all desires, and effortless meditation alone remains. Unless and until Brahman is realised, one cannot rest in the self; until then meditation is impossible merely by thinking about the self, etc.

*vlm.7. Until the great Brahma may be known, and our rest may be found in that Blessed state; so long the mind remains a stranger to meditation, by reason of its dwelling on other thought.

*sv.6.7 In that state, there is effortless dropping away of all desires, and effortless meditation alone remains. Unless and until Brahman is realised, one cannot rest in the self; until then meditation is impossible merely by thinking about the self, etc.

.

*vwv.2274/7.46.8. Having attained to oneness with the Highest Truth (or Absolute Reality), I do not know where the mind is gone and where desire, actions and the perceptions of joy and anger.

*sv.8 When the supreme truth is realised, the mind goes away, who knows where; and who knows how vasana or mental conditioning, karma, as also joy and despair disappear.

*vlm.8. After the mind has obtained its union with the supreme One, we know not whither the mind is fled; and where our wishes and actions, our joys and griefs, and all our knowledge fly away.

*sv.9 The yogi is then seen to be in a state of continuous and unbroken meditation, firmly established in adamantine meditation or samadhi (vajra.samadhana), like a mountain.

*vlm.9. The yogi is seen to be solely absorbed in his meditation, and sitting steadfast in his contemplation, like a wingless and unmoving mountain.

*vwv.2089/45.46a,46.16b – Highest desirelessness for objects of enjoyment is declared as samAdhi. Intense (or firm) tastelessness in objects of sense is alone declared as dhyAna (or meditation).

*sv.16 The mind is not distracted from it. When the mind is at peace because it is disinterested in worldly objects (having known the truth) that is samadhi, not else.

*vlm.16. It is a settled distaste to the objects of sense, that constitutes the pith and marrow of meditativeness; and the maturity of this habit, makes a man as compact as adamant.
