Well, according to Bhoja-deva: tatra shraddhA yogaviShaye chetasaH prasAdaH . I *guess* 'yoga-viSaye' (H-K translit.) means 'in the context of yoga', or stuff. In any case 'cetasaH prasaadaH' might be something like 'calmness of mind'? prasAda m. clearness, brightness, serenity, calmness, tranquillity, kindness, grace, favour, aid, assistance, gratuity, present.
