Anubhavātmaka (अनुभवात्मक) refers to “personal experience”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] This supernormal knowledge [derived] from the five senses consists of his personal experience (sva-anubhavātmaka) [as opposed to theoretical knowledge]. By it, the best of Yogins knows of everything that is going on in the universe. [...]”.
