The adjective, prasrabdha, is often applied to the body and the mind.³²⁴ Literally, the word means "cessation, stopping", as in the passages of the Divy. and the Ava. Ça., where the stopping or cessation of miraculous power and of pain is spoken of.³²⁵ In the compound apratipraçrabdha-margaḥ (M. Vy., Section 30, page 63), it means "interrupted". As a philosophical term, praçrabdhi came to signify "cessation of pain", "serenity," "tranquillity."
