Avidyāyoga (अविद्यायोग) refers to the “ignorance yoke” and represents one of the four yokes (yoga), according to Dharmaśrī’s Abhidharmahṛdaya 86 and the Saṃyuktābhidharmahṛdaya 196, 200-3.—Accordingly, “[...] There are: (1) The desire flood (kāmaugha) = five attachments, five hostilities, five conceits, four doubts and ten envelopments: in total twenty-nine real entities. (2). The existence flood (bhavaugha) = ten attachments, ten conceits, eight doubts = twenty-eight real entities. (3). The afflicted views flood (dṛṣṭyogha) = twelve afflicted views of the three realms = thirty-six real entities. (4). The ignorance flood (avidyaugha) = five ignorances of the three realms = fifteen real entities. [...] The same for the yokes (yoga) [e.g., the ignorance yoke (avidyāyoga)]”.
