Manovegin (मनोवेगिन्) refers to “moving as fast as one’s mind”, according to the Śivayogadīpikā, an ancient Sanskrit text dealing with Yoga possibly corresponding to the Śivayoga quoted in Śivānanda’s Yogacintāmaṇi.—Accordingly, [while describing a sequence of Haṭhayoga practices]: “Thus, by means of this Haṭhayoga which has eight auxiliaries, those [students who are] life-long celibates obtain the Siddhis of the [best of Sages] because of their untiring practice. [...] In the tenth [year], he can move [as fast as] his mind (manovegin) and cheerfully go wherever he wishes. In the eleventh year, he is omniscient and a yogin who possesses the Siddhis. [...]”.
