तदा द्रष्टुः स्वरूपेऽवस्थानम् ॥३॥ |
tadā draṣṭuḥ svarūpe-'vasthānam ॥3॥ |
| tada = then, at that time; at the time of concentration and meditation drashtuh = the seer's, of the soul, witness, Atman, Self; from the root drsh, which means to see (It is significant to note that Patanjali is not trying to define who is the seer, or the nature of that seer. This is left to be answered or resolved in direct experience.) svarupe = in its own nature, own form or essence; (sva = own; rupa = form) avasthanam = stability, settling, remaining, being in a state, resting, standing, lying, abiding; the root stha means to stand |
At that time (the time of concentration) the seer (the Purasa) rests in his own (unmodified) state. |
