Dharmamegha samādhi

The “cloud of virtue” absorption: the highest samādhi of the Yoga Sūtras, just before liberation.

Also: Dharma megha samadhi

Yoga, Sāṃkhya, Tantra and devotion

Dharmamegha samādhi arises, Patañjali says, in one who is detached even from the highest discernment. From it the afflictions and karma cease, and knowledge becomes infinite. The name, “cloud of dharma”, is also used in Mahāyāna Buddhism for the tenth stage of the bodhisattva.
