— bliss [the first state] ; — from the touch of a portion of fullness ; — upsurge, the rising-up [second state] ; — from settling momentarily in bodilessness ; — trembling [third state] ; — when overcome by [the Self's] own power ; — from the loosening of identification with the body ; — sleep [fourth state] ; — from the dissolution of outward-facing orientation

Therein: first, bliss (ānanda), from the touch of a portion of fullness; then upsurge (udbhava), from settling momentarily in bodilessness; then trembling (kampa), from the loosening of identification with the body when one is overcome by [the Self's] own power; then sleep (nidrā), from the dissolution of outward-facing orientation;
