Dear Sriman Mukundan,
Nice to see the mail.
Actually many pASurams were quoted to support sAttvika ahankAram. But
I doubt whether pUrvAchAryas used that particular word for such
occasions.
Parasara Bhattar, in the interpretation of the name SishtEshta:,
means Sishta (good) people as those having SEshatva gnAnam. Ohters
like kamsa etc. are not Sishtas, though they are also 100% SEsha to
the Lord.
He quotes from scriptures the following words about the knowledgeable
(vipras):
sattvastha: nirahankAra: ----
Those knowledgeable people, who are in the mode of meaningful
existence (akArArthAyaiva svam -- Thirumantram), do not have any
ahankAram. Hence pUrvAchAryas do not use the word "sAttvika
ahankAram".
