समाधिर्न्नाम योगांगमन्तिमं परिकीर्तितम् ॥ समाधिना च सर्वत्र प्रज्ञालोकः प्रवर्तते ॥ ६१ ॥

Samādhi is the final state of Yoga. Through Samādhi, the lustre of intellect begins to function.

english translation

यदर्थमात्रनिर्भासं स्तिमितो दधिवत्स्थितम् ॥ स्वरूपशून्यवद्भानं समाधिरभिधीयते ॥ ६२ ॥

In Samādhi, the vision is steady like the calm ocean, the form vanishes but the vision persists.

english translation

ध्येये मनः समावेश्य पश्येदपि च सुस्थिरम् ॥ निर्वाणानलवद्योगी समाधिस्थः प्रगीयते ॥ ६३ ॥

Fixing the mind in the object of meditation he shall see it steadily. The Yogin thus like the fire extinguished is absorbed in Samādhi.

english translation

न शृणोति न चाघ्राति न जल्पति न पश्यति ॥ न च स्पर्शं विजानाति न संकल्पयते मनः ॥ ६४ ॥

He neither hears nor smells nor prattles nor sees nor feels the touch. The mind docs not think.

english translation

नवाभिमन्यते किंचिद्बध्यते न च काष्टवत् ॥ एवं शिवे विलीनात्मा समाधिस्थ इहोच्यते ॥ ६५ ॥

Nor does he identify with anything external. Nor is it bound like the inanimate log of wood. A person whose Ātman has thus merged into Śiva is called Samādhistha.
