āgamasyāvirodhena ūhanaṃ tarka ucyate |

samaṃ manyeta yaṃ labdhvā sa samādhiḥ prakīrtitaḥ ||17||

Translation

On dit que tarka (le raisonnement) est ūhana, une réflexion ou inférence qui ne contredit pas l’āgama (l’Écriture). Ayant atteint l’état par lequel tout est tenu pour égal, cela est proclamé samādhi.

Academic Translation

Reasoning (tarka) is said to be inference/reflection (ūhana) that does not contradict scripture (āgama). Having attained that (state) by which one regards (everything) as equal—this is proclaimed to be samādhi.
