How then do we as Westerners even presume to have a sensible comprehension of consciousness according to the way the Asian traditions understand it, especially when attempting to comprehend such a thing is at best a hazardous proposition, full of innumerable pitfalls arising from our mutual cultural biases, readily liable to misinterpretation because of radically different philosophical presuppositions, not to mention linguistic barriers, incomparability of basic sources, and the sheer absence of documented material?
More subtly, however, nirodha refers to a "burning out" of the unconscious determinants of conscious thoughts, a "burning up" of the seeds of waking conscious impressions. To understand this it is important to examine the meaning of consciousness per se in Yoga. The technical term for consciousness is citta (pronounced "ch" as in "church") which appears in the normal field of awareness in the form of changing cognitive thoughts (vritti) and simultaneously in the unconscious as "latent impressions" (samskaras).
