From further purification of nirvichara samadhi (meditation that transcends the realm of thought altogether) spiritual illumination ensues.
nirvicāra = nir + vicāra
- nir without
- vicāra thinking; inner reflection; analysis; contemplation
Together, nirvicāra refers to the state of samadhi that transcends the realm of thinking; the samadhi devoid of the thought process.
vaiśāradye locative of vaisharadya. Upon purification, transparency; upon infusing it with sattvic qualities; upon filling it with pure virtues or the virtue of purity
adhyātma spiritual; seated in spirit; having the soul at its core
prasādaḥ illumination; enlightenment; happiness; joy; transparency
The outcome of Nirvicara is Adhyatmaprasad, i.e. the most blissful state, a state where the mind is absolutely soft, pure, unaffected by anything, no thoughts at all.

“The Blessed Lord replied: Brahman is the Indestructible and Supreme Spirit. Adhyatma is Brahman’s manifestation as the essential soul of all beings”. Bhagavad Gita 8:3 (1)
