तत्र शब्दार्थज्ञानविकल्पैः संकीर्णा सवितर्का समापत्तिः ॥ १.४२ ॥
तत्र = There
tatra = in there, among these
śabda = sound
jñāna = knowledge
vikalpah= with choices
saṁkīrṇā= mingled with
savitarkā = with reasoning
samāpattiḥ= Samadhi, engrossment
artha = meaning
In samāpattiḥ [the entrance to Samadhi], the logical mind is still engaged in reasoning, trying to differentiate intermingled words, meanings and perceptions.
Osho: SAVITARKA SAMADHI IS THE SAMADHI IN WHICH THE YOGI IS STILL UNABLE TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE REAL KNOWLEDGE, KNOWLEDGE BASED ON WORDS, AND KNOWLEDGE BASED ON REASONING OR SENSE PERCEPTIONS, WHICH ALL REMAIN IN THE MIND IN A MIXED STATE.
