śruta-anumāna-prajñā-abhyām-anya-viṣayā
viśeṣa-arthatvāt
śruta = heard, testimony
anumāna= inference, deduction

viṣayā = objects
viśeṣa = specific to, special, with a sense of superiority
arthatvāt = significance, meaning, intrinsic reality
In the state of Nirvichara Samadhi,
an object is experienced in its full perspective, because in this state knowledge is gained direct, without the use of the senses, inference or teachings.
Patanjali says, this truth-bearing knowledge and wisdom is distinct from and beyond the knowledge gleaned from books, testimony, or inference.
This wisdom is gained through insight.
Perception is instantaneous.
It is a special, direct knowledge arising from the soul, not from the perception of the senses or from the ordinary intellect.
-contd 1-
The knowledge gained from our senses, scriptures, testimony and reasoning is merely preparing the ground.
The revelation through Nirvichar Samadhi is the knowing that takes one to realization.
When we come out of our prison of senses, we encounter a vast ocean of formless beauty, truth, goodness.
It’s called sat-chit-ananda:
that which is, that which is beautiful, that which is good, that which is blissful.
This is direct perception, aprokshanubhuti, immediate knowing.
-contd 2-
In Nirvichara Samadhi, when the senses are not used, the vastness, the infinity is known, the full perspective is attained.
If you look at an object with full perspective, the object is joined from every part of it with the infinity;
it cannot exist without that.
No object exists independent.
There is no individuality.
Individuality is just an interpretation.
Everywhere the whole exists.
