Uttejita (उत्तेजित) refers to “being inspired” (e.g., by envy), according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, “[...] It has been said that there are eighteen addictions. These are the outcome of the desire for earthly enjovments. [...] Envy means intolerance of others’ prosperity. It is praise-worthy when it incites to action against rivals or enemies, because inspired (uttejita) by envy, people try to destroy them. [...]”.
