Niḥśeṣanirmūlita (निःशेषनिर्मूलित) refers to “having completely rooted out” (one’s network of Karma), according to the Yogatārāvalī.—Accordingly, [while describing yoganidrā]: “[...] [This] Yogic sleep, whose extraordinary happiness [arises] from ceaseless practice, blossoms in the Yogin whose roots of intentional and volitional thought have been cut off and whose network of Karma has been completely rooted out (niḥśeṣanirmūlita) [niḥśeṣanirmūlitakarmajāle]. Having mastered cessation [of the mind] in the fourth state which is superior to the three states beginning with the mundane, O friend, forever enter that special thoughtless sleep full of [pure] consciousness”.
