According to Vedanta, the various chitta bhumis are described as follows

: आसुरसम्पल्लोकशास्त्रदेहवासनासु वर्त्तमानं चित्तं क्षिप्तभूमिका । १ । निद्रातन्द्रादिग्रस्तं चित्तं मूढभूमिका । २ । कदाचिद्ध्यानयुक्तं चित्तं क्षिप्ताद्विशिष्टतया विक्षिप्तभूमिका । ३ । तत्र क्षिप्त-मूढयोः समाधित्वशङ्कैव नास्ति विक्षिप्ते तु समाधित्वशङ्का तदितरत् भूमिद्बयं समाधिः । एकाग्रे मनसि सम्भूतमर्थं प्रद्योतयति क्षिणोति च क्लेशान् कर्म्मबन्धनानि श्लथयति निरोधमभिमुखीकरोतीति सः प्रज्ञातो योग एकाग्र-भूमिका । ४ । सर्व्ववृत्तिनिरोधरूपा संप्रज्ञात-समाधिर्निरुद्धभूमिका । ५ । इति वेदान्तसंज्ञा-निरूपणग्रन्थः ॥<ref name=":0" />

The chitta engaged in Asuric (having asuric) qualities, pleasures, worldly ways not living as per the shastric (injunctions), and in sensual propensities is said to be in Kshipta avastha. That chitta caught in sleep, laziness and lassitude is said to be in Mudha avastha. When the chitta has the qualities opposite to those in Kshipta yet sometimes being in the state of Dhyana is said to be Vikshipta. In the states of Kshipta and Mudha there is no doubt that chitta will be in samadhi state, but in the Vikshipta state chitta definitely experiences some periods of Samadhi. The Samadhi state is verily present in the other two Bhumis, viz., Ekagra and Niruddha. Ekagra is when the mind is illumined with yatartha jnana, destroys grief, loosens the bonds of karma and takes the person to the state of that yoga leading to Niruddha. Niruddha is when the chitta is totally restrained from outward influences and the engages in samprajnata samadhi.
