Now I will describe the supreme method of samādhi, which destroys death, is a means to happiness, and produces the supreme bliss of Brahman.

Svātmārāma announces the content of the final chapter:

Samādhi-kramam uttamam — the supreme (uttama) method (krama) of samādhi. Not just what samādhi is, but how to achieve it.

Three benefits:

1. Mṛtyu-ghnam — destroys death. Liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
2. Sukhopāyam — means to happiness. Not arid asceticism but a path toward sukha.
3. Brahmānanda-karam param — produces the supreme bliss of Brahman. The ecstasy of union with the Absolute.

Note the emphasis on sukha (happiness, ease). Contrary to images of yoga as ascetic torture, the text promises a path toward bliss.

The word krama (method, sequence) indicates there will be progressive practical instructions, continuing the technical approach of the previous chapters.
