Mudrānvita (मुद्रान्वित) refers to “(being) furnished with Mudrās”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “The preliminary [yoga] is furnished with external Mudrās (bahir-mudrānvita) and [thus,] it is regarded as an external yoga. [Whereas] the other [yoga] is richly endowed with an internal Mudrā [and] for that reason, it alone is the internal yoga”.
