Vettṛtva (वेत्तृत्व) refers to “one who knows (everything)”, 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 (viśva-vettṛtva) from Brahma [down] and [all] traditional teachings. [...]”.
