When we recite precepts we say above word.

What is the meaning of that?
Is it something to do with Samadhi?

Thanks, Gabriel,
But what it means by Samadiyami?
Sorry, I miss something here.

samādiyāmī is a conjugation of samādāti. Hence it means to undertake, adopt.

It is not related to samādhiyati, which in turn means still, concentrate, calm down.
