अथ भस्तियोगसमामिः ।

Bhakti-yoga-samadhi
One should contemplate the image of Ishta-devata in one's heart and reflect [on it] with pure devotion and great joy. (14)

आनन्दाश्रुपुलके न दशाभािः प्रजायते ।
समामिः सम्भिेत्तेन सम्भिेच्च मनोन्नी ॥ १५॥

ānandāśrupulakena daśābhāvaḥ prajāyate ।
samādhiḥ sambhavettena sambhavecca manonmanī ॥ 15॥

With tears of delight and trembling (goosebumps on the skin) [to the yogi] comes a state of trance. Thus samadhi arises, and with it – manonmani (a state beyond the mind). (15)

"Gheranda Samhita"
