Saṃprajñātasamādhi (संप्रज्ञातसमाधि) refers to “Samādhi with an object of focus”.—In later yoga compendiums which integrated medieval yoga traditions with Pātañjalayoga, laya was equated with saṃprajñātasamādhi (i.e., Samādhi with an object of focus). For example, Śivānanda’s Yogacintāmaṇi states: “Rājayoga is, indeed, seedless Samādhi and Layayoga is Samprajñāta [Samādhi]”.
