Buddhināśa (बुद्धिनाश) refers to the “disappearance of the intellect”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] Therefore, the mind disappears because of the no-mind state and, because of the disappearance of the [mind], the tormenting breath disappears. And so, one who abides in the natural [no-mind] state is aware of non-duality, because of the disappearance of the body along with the sense organs and intellect (buddhināśa) [sabuddhīndriyadehanāśād]. [...]”.
