Divāٰ (दिवारात्रि) refers to the “day and night�, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] The Yogin should not wake by day and should not sleep even for a fraction of the night. Night and day, the Yogin always sleeps in the natural [no-mind] state. For a man who remains in the pure, natural [no-mind state], there is not even the distinction of day and night (徱ٰ-岹), because [that] place is the bliss of mere consciousness, which is free from wakefulness and sleep. [...]�.
