vimuktah: višeşena muktah; vāsanāyāh api abhāvah višeşah: The absence of any vāsanās is višesa in mukti.
svayameva samyati: remains as unconcealed pure effulgence.
354 When does one remain like this? This must be known. So it is said:
अज्ञानहृदयग्रन्थेः निश्शेषविलयस्तदा ।
समाधिनाऽविकल्पन यदाद्वैतात्मदर्शनम् ॥ ३५४ ॥ ajñānahrdayagranther niśćeşavilayastadā samādhinā'vikalpena yadādvaitātmadarśanam 11
When there is experience of the non-dual ātman by means of nirvikalpa-samādhi, then there is complete destruction of the knot of ajñāna.
samādhinā avikalpena: by nirvikalpa-samādhi as described earlier.
yadādvaitātmadarśanam: when there is direct experience of the non-dual Paramātman.
tadā: then there arises.
ajñānahrdayagrantheh: of the knot produced by ajñāna which makes for the identification of the sentient ātman with the insentient non-ātman.
niśćeşavilayah: 'destruction along with the vāsanās.
355 त्वमहमिदमितीयं कल्पना बुद्धिदोषात्
प्रभवति परमात्मन्यद्वये निर्विशेषे । ' प्रविलसति समाधावस्य सर्वो विकल्पः
विलयनमुपगच्छेद् वस्तुतत्त्वावधृत्या ॥३५५ ॥ tvam aham idamitīyam kalpanā buddhidoşāt
prabhavati paramātmanyadvaye nirvisesei pravilasati samadhāvasya sarvo vikalpaḥ
vilayanam upagacchet vastutattvāvadhrtyā 11
By the flaw of the intellect, the imagination of the distinction in the form of 'you', 'I' and 'this' arises in the qualityless non-dual Paramātman. When this (ātman) shines forth in samādhi, all these wrong understandings will vanish by reason of the knowledge of the truth of Brahman.
