The term *Samādhi* also, like Yoga, has both a general and technical sense. Its general meaning is "collectedness and calm of mind" (*Samyakādhāna*). Such *Samādhi* or Chitta-samādhāna is described as *Sārvabhauma*, i.e. as being implicit in all states (*bhūmi*) of mind as its innate characteristic. Its more specific meaning as used in Yoga will be explained later.
