तत्र शब्दार्थज्ञानविकल्पैः संकीर्णा सवितर्का समापत्तिः
(Pronunciation)
तत्र शब्दार्थ-ज्ञान-विकल्पैः
संकीर्णा सवितर्का समापत्तिः
tatra śabdārtha-jñāna-vikalpaiḥee
saṁkīrṇā savitarkā samāpattiḥee
tatra = in there, among these
śabda = sound
artha = meaning
jñāna = wisdom, concept
vikalpah= with choices
saṁkīrṇā= mingled with
savitarkā = with deliberation
samāpattiḥ= Samadhi, engrossment
As spiritual absorption deepens, the mind and the object on which it is focused move towards becoming one,
there arises savitarka Samadhi
- a narrow field of concentration that contains the word,
its meaning, and the knowledge based on reasoning about the object denoted, which all remain in the mind
in a mixed state.
