"Nirvana, a Sanskrit word meaning 'he blows away' is primarily a Buddhist term for the 'state of absolute bessedness'" "If Pink Floyd's double compilation album Echoes(Capitol/Emi) has dominated the album charts, then Pink is riding hight in the singles charts". I looked up in the dictionary of Cambridge and I met the following that I think don't serve in this last phrase: "compilation- book, set of records,etc. that has been made from several separate parts: a compilation of modern poetry; a new compilation of band's hit records has just been released.Thank you very mutch and one big hug for you!

"Compilation" is the act of putting things together to make a whole. Gathering and keeping as a unit.
"Blows away" has the meaning of surrendering to the air and being moved along by the wind. In Nirvana terms it means being so light that one is as light as air and is blown by the wind to disappear and become part of the atmosphere itself.
