Ahaṅkārāvṛta (अहङ्कारावृत) refers to “those who are full of pride”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] Some who are full of pride (ahaṅkārāvṛta) because they know a multitude of scriptures, do not know the [true] teaching, not even by [studying] hundreds of texts. [Because their minds] are agitated by hundreds of conceptual processes consisting of meditation and so forth, [all of which are] grounded in desire [for some particular reward], they do not find the desired state that is to be obtained, however hard they torture [themselves]. [...]”.
