First of all, according to Vyaasa's Yoga-suutra-bhaaSya, "yoga is samaadhi" (yogaH samaadhiH). OTOH, according to PataƱjali yoga is nirodha of citta-vRtti's (yogash citta-vRtti-nirodhaH). Can one then conclude that samaadhi is citta-vRtti-nirodha as well? Be it as it may, citta-vRtti's are: pramaaNa, viparyaya, vikalpa, nidraa and smRti (memory). Can one then say, that samaadhi is, amongst other things, smRti-nirodha? If one can, it seems impossible one could remember samaadhi?! :D
