SMRTI PARISUDDHAU SVARUPA SUNYEVARTHA MATRA NIRBHASA NIRVITARKA.
Source: English translation from The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (Sri Swami Satchidananda)
When the memory is well purified, the knowledge of the object of concentration shines alone, devoid of the distinction of name and quality. This is nirvitarka samadhi, or samadhi without deliberation.

smrtiparisuddhau svarupasunya iva arthamatranirbhasa nirvitarka

In nirvitarka samapatti, the difference between memory and intellectual illumination is disclosed; memory is cleansed and consciousness shines without reflection.

When the mind achieves identity with a gross object of concentration, unmixed with awareness of name, quality and knowledge, so that the object alone remains, this is called nirvitarka samadhi.
Source: English translation from The Heart of Yoga (T.K.V. Desikachar)
When the direction of the mind toward the object is sustained, the ideas and memories of the past gradually recede. The mind becomes crystal clear and one with the object. At this moment there is no feeling of oneself. This is pure perception.

smriti pari-shuddhau svarupa-shunya iva artha-matra nirbhasa nirvitarka
Source: English translation of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati)
When the memory or storehouse of modifications of mind is purified, then the mind appears to be devoid of its own nature and only the object on which it is contemplating appears to shine forward; this type of engrossment is known as nirvitarka samapatti.
