´¡³¦²¹±ô²¹°ùÅ«±è²¹ (अचलरूप) refers to the “immovable stateâ€� (of deep meditative sleep), according to verse 6.21.14 of the Moká¹£opÄya.—Accordingly, as BhuÅ›uṇá¸a said to Vasiṣṭha: “[...] When [mount] Meru and the rest have dissolved into the world and become one ocean, then, having performed concentration on the wind element, I remain with my mind steady. Having attained the further shore of the universe in a pure state at the end of the elements, I remain because of the immovable state (²¹³¦²¹±ô²¹°ùÅ«±è²¹) of my deep [meditative] sleep, until BrahmÄ is again intent upon the act of creation. Then, having entered the universe, I remain in the sky. [...]â€�.
