Well, "samaadhi" is combination of "sam + aa + dhi". The last component (dhi) is a noun derived from the root "dhaa" (to put); "saMhita" is actually the perfect participle of the compound verb (or whatever) "saM-dhaa" (to put together). The perfect participle of the verb "sam-aa-dhaa", which is the root, so to speak, of the noun "samaadhi", would prolly be "samaahita", so "saMhita", the related noun being "saMdhi" (pronounce: sandhi), is quite close to "samaadhi", sheesh... :) BTW, "intelligence, etc" is "dhii", not "dhi" > > Seems to me that I've seen samadhi translated as "sameness." The "word" "samadhi-" appears in BG only once,not as a noun, but as a verbal prefix (sam-adhi-gacchati). OTOH, "samaadhi" as a noun appears twice. Even in a Hindi on-line dictionary entering "samadhi" in the search field returned, how say, null result. So, I'm quite puzzled whether there is in Sanskrit a noun "samadhi", in addition to "samaadhi". A slightly different word, namely "samadhii", is a verb meaning ' to go over , repeat or read through or study thoroughly'.
