Yoga-suutra mentions several stages of samaadhi. The main distinction seems to be sabiija- vs. nirbiija-samaadhi. The highest stage is, I guess, dharma-megha-samaadhi. I wonder what stage "typically"(?) is the one mentioned in Vibhuuti-paada (third book). It's hardly nirbiija, because of "artha-maatra-nirbhaasam". Or, then again, I don't understand anything about the stages of samaadhi, LOL.
It's not pure samadhi in the vibhuti-pada, merely samyama.
