हठयोग प्रदीपिका (योगी स्वात्माराम - ज्योत्स्ना टीका सहित सटीक)

82 HAṬHAYOGAPRADĪPIKĀ eliminated. The mind and the Prāṇa are [thus] absorbed definitively in the stainless [Consciousness, which is devoid of guṇa-s or attributes]. 106. During the Unmanī-avasthā, the body be- comes absolutely like a log of wood and the Yogin hears not even the [loud] sounds of a conch or dundubhi (a large drum). 107. The Yogin who has passed beyond all the states and is freed from all thoughts [and memories] and who appears as if dead [i.e. impervious to external stimuli] is liberated without doubt. There are five states (avasthā-s): waking (jāgrat), dream (svapna), deep sleep (suṣupti), trance (mūrchā) and death (maraṇa), and these admit of recurrence. 108. A Yogin in Samādhi is not swallowed up by the Time process [death]; he is not affected by [the fruit of] action (karman); he cannot fall under any influence [from persons, incantations, etc.]. 109. A Yogin in Samādhi apprehends neither smell, taste, form or colour, touch, or sound; he does not cognize himself or others. 110. One in whom the mind is neither asleep nor awake, [whose mind] is free of memories and of forgetfulness, which neither goes into oblivion nor into activity—such a one is indeed liberated. The mind is said to sleep when it loses its faculty of discerning objects because Tamas overshadows all the organs and overcomes both the Rajas and the Sattva qualities. It is not awake, because in the state of Samādhi there is no experience of sense-objects.
