ṃpñٲ (संप्रज्ञात) refers to a kind of Yogic meditation or Samādhi, and is mentioned in the Naiṣadha-carita 21.119.—In ṃpñٲ, the object of meditation remains distinct, though the mind is absorbed in its contemplation; as opposed to the Asaṃprajñāta variety, in which the distinction between knowledge and its object is completely obliterated. Cf. Śrīharṣa and Nārāyaṇa. The ṃpñٲ-Samādhi is called Samāpatti in the Yogasūtras, and known also as Savikalpa-Samādhi. Cf. Vācaspati in his commentary on Pātañjala-bhāṣya (Samādhipāda).

The various modes of ṃpñٲ- are described in the Yogasūtras (Samādhipāda). Śivopādhyāya in his commentary on Vijñānabhairava refers to another classification ([...]). The ṃpñٲ- is referred to as �īᲹDz� by Māgha 4.55.

1) ṃpñٲ (संप्रज्ञात) or ṃpñٲsamādhi refers to “Samādhi with an object of focus�.—In later yoga compendiums which integrated medieval yoga traditions with Pātañjalayoga, laya was equated with ṃpñٲ (i.e., Samādhi with an object of focus). For example, Śivānanda’s Yogacintāmaṇi states: “Rājayoga is, indeed, seedless Samādhi and Layayoga is ñٲ [Samādhi]�.

2) ṃpñٲ (संप्रज्ञात) refers to “discursive cognition� (as opposed to Asaṃprajñāta), according to Rājānaka Alaka’s commentary on the 9th-century Haravijaya by Rājānaka Ratnākara.—Accordingly, “[This] state (岹ś) of yoga is without discursive cognition (ṃpñٲ), that is, without the activity of the mind whose nature is discursive thought. [That is to say, it is] without mind�.
