FWIW, Shearer uses the phrase "supreme knowledge" to
translate "prajna" in 3:5:

"When samyama is mastered, the light of supreme
knowledge dawns."

In the introduction, he defines "supreme knowledge"
in this context as "the *intellect* in its sattvic
purity, transparent to the Self" (emphasis added).
