Suptotthita (सुप्तोत्थित) refers to “who has (suddenly) arisen from sleep”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] The Yogin cultivates that state which arises at the end of waking and the beginning of sleep. He is surely liberated [by it]. Just as someone who has suddenly arisen from sleep (suptotthita) becomes aware of sense objects, so the yogin wakes up from that [world of sense objects] at the end of his yogic sleep [in the no-mind state]. [...]”.
