Translation
O Uddhava! The sages, desiring to know the goal of yoga, thus inquired from me who I was. Now please hear as I, master of those with false identity, explain what I spoke to them. Ahaṁtebhyaḥ can mean “I, the master (ibhyaḥ) of the sages with false identity of I (ahaṁtā). According to Amara-koṣa the word ibhyaḥ means master.
