Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 54
शब्दस्पर्शरसैर्हीनं गंधरूपविवर्जितम् । परं पुरुषं संप्राप्तः समाधिस्थः प्रकीर्तितः
śabdasparśarasairhīnaṃ gaṃdharūpavivarjitam | paraṃ puruṣaṃ saṃprāptaḥ samādhisthaḥ prakīrtitaḥ
जो शब्द, स्पर्श और रस से रहित तथा गन्ध और रूप से भी विमुक्त होकर परम पुरुष को प्राप्त हो जाता है, वही समाधिस्थ कहा जाता है।
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced: Māheśvara-khaṇḍa narrative style)
Scene: A yogin seated in deep samādhi, senses dissolved: the five sense-objects symbolically fading—sound-waves, touch, tastes, fragrances, and forms dissolving into a luminous inner void; above, a subtle radiance signifying Parama Puruṣa.
