Lit., “the Scripture, or ''Shâstra'', of peace”. One of the four Vedas. [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). Zirkoff lists Satyavrata Samasrami’s five-volume edition with Sayana’s commentary (Calcutta, 1874-78) and R. T. H. Griffith’s translation (Benares, 1893; second edition, 1907).

Samadhana +

That state in which a Yogi can no longer diverge from the path of spiritual progress; when everything terrestrial, except the visible body, has ceased to exist for him. [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Samadhi +

A state of ecstatic and complete trance. The term comes from the words ''Sam‐âdha'', “self‐ possession ”.

[[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Samadhindriya +

Lit., “the root of concentration”; the fourth of the five roots called Pancha Indriyâni, which are said in esoteric philosophy to be the agents in producing a highly moral life, leading to sanctity and liberation ; when these are reached, the two ''spiritual roots'' lying latent in the body (Atmâ and Buddhi) will send out shoots and blossom. ''Samâdhindriya'' is the organ of ecstatic meditation in Râj‐yoga practices. [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +
