residual impressions, though they are existent, do not get any scope for their expression. The Samprajñāta Samadhi is also called af, for, the latent deposits of Karma () which cause the future birth, are not annihilated in it; they are uprooted or made impotent in the Asam prajāta Samadhi, hence the Asamprajñāta Samādhi leads to the final emancipation with no fear of a relapse. When one experiences the Asamprajñāta Samādhi one is free from any movement of the Citta, and thus, he gets established in the original poise of the Purusa. It is a state of unshaken peace and silence. Then the Citta becomes desolate but the Puruşa rests at home; it is then quite at ease. It is negatively defined as 'the cessation of the modifications of the Citta.' The Puruşa becomes entirely free from the connections or the reflections into the Prakṛti, and as there remains nothing into which it can reflect, it is confused with nothing. It exists in its pure tranquil form. No more is there any confusion with any modification of Citta which has come to a standstill. It is a state of equanimity. The isolation of the Puruşa from the Prakṛti becomes perfect in it. When the Asamprajaāta Samādhi is experienced the fear of relapse to the worldly life is cancelled for ever. Max Müller describes the final state in the following passage-"Then at last perfect discrimination is rewarded by what is called by a strange term, Dharmamegha (:), the cloud of virtue, knowledge and virtue being inseparable
