Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā / 4.7 The living self and the supreme self
4.7
Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
तत्समं च द्वयोरैक्यं जीवात्मपरमात्मनोः ।
प्रनष्टसर्वसङ्कल्पः समाधिः सोऽभिधीयते tatsamaṃ ca dvayor aikyaṃ jīvātmaparamātmanoḥ |
pranaṣṭasarvasaṅkalpaḥ samādhiḥ so'bhidhīyate
The line
That sameness, the oneness of the two, the living self and the supreme self, every resolve destroyed: that is called samādhi (समाधि).
नेपालीमा
त्यो समानता, ती दुईको एकत्व, जीव र परमात्मा, हरेक संकल्प नष्ट भएको, त्यसलाई समाधि भनिन्छ।
Where it sits
A third definition. Jīvātman (जीवात्मन्) and paramātman (परमात्मन्) are the two. Saṅkalpa (सङ्कल्प) is the resolve, the shaping thought.
Split: tat (तत्) + samaṃ (समं) ca (च) dvayor (द्वयोर्) aikyaṃ (ऐक्यं) jīvātma (जीवात्म) + paramātmanoḥ (परमात्मनोः) / pranaṣṭa (प्रनष्ट) + sarva (सर्व) + saṅkalpaḥ (सङ्कल्पः) samādhiḥ (समाधिः) so'bhidhīyate (सोऽभिधीयते)
