Samāveśadaśā (समावेशदशा) refers to “(obtaining) the sate of immersion” (in the fourth state and beyond), according to Kṣemarāja’s Pratyabhijñāhṛdaya.—Accordingly, while discussing easy methods of Yoga practice: “[...] By apprehending the absence of thought because there is no thinking at all, one becomes full of the perception of a knowing subject's own consciousness devoid of defects such as the body and so on, and one soon obtains immersion (samāveśadaśā) in the fourth [state] and that beyond the fourth [state], [an immersion] whose expansiveness is [always] opening out”.
