Vyāpārarahita (व्यापाररहित) refers to the “absence of activity (of the mind)”, according to Rājānaka Alaka’s commentary on the 9th-century Haravijaya by Rājānaka Ratnākara.—Accordingly, “[This] state of Yoga is without discursive cognition, that is, without the activity (vyāpārarahita) of the mind whose nature is discursive thought. [That is to say, it is] without mind”.
