In Hinduism

Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)

颁颈迟迟补惫峁泃迟颈 (啶氞た啶む啶むさ啷冟い啷嵿い啶�) refers to the 鈥渟tate of mind or feeling鈥� (in Sanskrit Drama), according to the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur膩峁嘺, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.鈥擶hen the inner ideas of a dramatist are expressed by means of words, gestures, facial expressions and the representation of sattva, those are called 产丑腻惫补蝉. In the Abhinavabh膩rati commentary, the word 产丑腻惫补 and sattva are established by Abhinavagupta in a similar sense through the term 肠颈迟迟补惫峁泃迟颈 i.e., the state of mind or feeling.鈥�(Cf. 厂腻迟惫颈办腻产丑颈苍补测补)

Yoga (school of philosophy)

: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch

颁颈迟迟补惫峁泃迟颈 (啶氞た啶む啶むさ啷冟い啷嵿い啶�) refers to the 鈥渁ctivity of one鈥檚 mind鈥�, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.鈥擜ccordingly, as 莫艣vara says to V膩madeva: 鈥淸...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] By means of an absorption for a day and night, the Yogin who is steady in his seated posture knows smells from afar, because of the cessation of the activity of his mind (肠颈迟迟补惫峁泃迟颈). [...]鈥�.

context information

Instead, it represents the total surrender of body (deha), senses (indriya), life-force (辫谤腻峁嘺), mind (manas), intellect (buddhi), ego (补丑补峁卥腻谤补), and all possessions toward 艢r墨 K峁涐梗峁嘺鈥檚 service.

When one sees oneself as neither the doer nor the reaper of the consequences, then all mind waves (肠颈迟迟补惫峁泃迟颈) come to an end. [tad膩 k峁Ｄ箛膩 bhavantyeva samast膩艣cittav峁泃taya岣�] [...]鈥�.
