Он мог плакать; мог не слышать, даже когда к нему обращались снова и снова; порой падал и порой поднимался—и всё же был наделён лишь знанием Шивы, всецело погружённый в высшее блаженство.

FAQs
It describes outwardly irregular bodily and social responses (weeping, not responding, falling, rising) that can occur when a realized person is absorbed in Śiva-jñāna and flooded by paramānanda, emphasizing inner attainment over external appearance.
Although framed as Śiva-jñāna, the verse points to single-pointed absorption (eka-niṣṭhā) where the devotee’s inner experience of the Lord becomes so intense that ordinary reactions and attention to speech diminish—an advanced fruit of deep devotion and contemplation.
The verse aligns with Vedanga-adjacent discipline through yogic and contemplative markers—recognizing states of absorption (samādhi-like overwhelm) and distinguishing inner realization from mere external ritual performance.
