Tattvajñānanirūpaṇa (तत्त्वज्ञाननिरूपण) in some manuscript is the name of a chapter of the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with topics as absorption (laya), yogic powers (siddhi) and liberation, presented in the form of a dialogue between Īśvara and Vāmadeva.—The Nepalese manuscripts are unique in calling the second chapter Svāvabodha and Tattvajñānanirūpaṇa. [...] The title Tattvajñānanirūpaṇa appears to be an attempt to describe the chapter's contents. It may have been inspired by the last verse of chapter two in the Amanaska, which states that knowledge of the highest reality (tattvajñāna) manifests because of the favour of the Guru.
