Śrutijñāna (श्रुतिज्ञान) refers to “(the knowledge of) traditional teachings”, 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. [...] By means of an absorption of seven nights, [while] absorbed in the highest reality, the Yogin knows everything from Brahma [down] and [all] traditional teachings (śrutijñāna). [...]”.
