Aranya

When One Becomes Disintereested Even In Omniscience One Attains Perpetual Discriminative Enlightenment From Which Ensues The Concentration Known As Dharmamegha (Virtue-Pouring Cloud).

Taimni

In the case of one, who is able to maintain a constant state of Vairagya even towards the most exalted state of enlightenment and to exercise the highest kind of discrimination, follows Dharma-Megha-Samadhi.

Sw. Satchidananda

One who, due to his or her perfect discrimination, is totally disinterested even in the highest rewards, remains in the constant discriminative discernment, which is called dharmamegha (cloud of dharma) samādhi. [Note: The meaning of dharma includes virtue, justice, law, duty, morality, religion, religious merit and steadfast decree.]

Bryant

For one who has no interest even in [the fruits] of meditative wisdom on account of the highest degree of discriminative insight, the samadhi called dharma-megha, cloud of virtue, ensues.

Discussion

कुसीद (kuseeda) is one who collects interest every month on an investment or money loaned out. अ-कुसीद (a-kuseeda) is one who has no interest in gaining anything more from his investment. Such a person has attained the highest state of vairagya (non-attachment)

प्रसङ्ख्यान (prasamkhyana) is the state of viveka-khyati, the highest understanding of the distinction between buddhi and the soul. “Prasamkhyane akuseedasya” is about the person who has lost interest even in the siddhis that my result from the state of prasamkhyana (viveka-khyati or discriminatory wisdom). Such a person is then situated in an unbroken state of viveka-khyati. That state has been given the name of “dharma-megha” samadhi in this sutra. It is the highest state of “samprajnata samadhi” (sutra 1.17). From here it is easy to transition into the ultimate samadhi called “asamprjnata” samadhi (sutra 1.18).
