Ø thath = that

Ø thasya = its
Ø avishayee = not present; not
the subject;
Ø bhoothathvaath = to be, beingness
In previous sutra, we saw
that - when Sadhaka performs Samyama on the special characteristics of
someone’s body (which distinguish him from others) – the Sadhaka gets to
understand even his innermost thoughts. But the present sutra clarifies that –
the knowledge that supports these thoughts in the person’s mind are not
revealed in this Samyama – as this support is not the object of this Samyama. The
Samyama reveals the thoughts – but not the deeper knowledge sitting in the mind
which throws up and supports these thoughts.

Ø kaaya = physical body
Ø roopa = form
Ø samyamaath = By performing

Ø thath = that
Ø graahya = can be received

Ø shakti = power
Ø sthambhe = By suspending
Ø chakshuh = of the eye
Ø prakasha = illumination
especially for visual purpose
Ø asamprayoga = is separated
contact
Ø anthardhanam =
invisibility, disappearance
When a Sadhaka performs Samyama
on the form of his own physical body, the illumination emanating from his
physical body which makes it visible to the others is suspended, and the physical
body thus becomes invisible to other people.
The visibility of any
object depends on the light it emanates. So is the case with our physical body.
But, if the reflection of
light is totally suspended by the Sadhaka through his Samyama on his own
physical body, then, others cannot see his physical body. But, the physical
body very much exists wherever it is. Only, its visibility is removed.
Vs.22
ethena
shabdadi anthardhanam
uktham
Ø ethena = by this
Ø shabdadi = sound and
other perceptions
Ø anthardhanam =
disappearance
Ø uktham = is explained
The perception of a person happens through one or
more of the five senses. The eyes perceive the form of the physical body through
the reflection of light by the body into the eyes.
The Nose perceives the body by the smells
emanating from the body.
The ears perceive the body by the sounds made by it or
emanating from it.
The tongue can perceive it if it can perceive the
tastes emanating from it.
The skin perceives through the touch sensation.
But, as we have seen From The previous sutra,
similarly, the Sadhaka can prevent all these perceptions through Samyama on his
own body. In other words, he is at the place but no one else can perceive him
through their five senses.
