Saṅkalpākulita (सङ्कल्पाकुलित) refers to “being agitated by desires”, according to Hemacandra’s Yogaśāstra (verse 12.19).—Accordingly, [while describing intentional thinking (saṅkalpa)]: “[The yogin] whose chief activity is detachment, should think of nothing at all. That mind which is agitated by desires (saṅkalpākulita), does not obtain steadiness”.
