Translation
The external action of wanting to hide one’s external symptoms because of thinking oneself low is called avahitthā.

Kenacit bhavena means “under the control of that bhāva.” Ākāra-guptiḥ means concealing ones anubhāvas (external symptoms). Thus, desiring to conceal one’s anubhāvas because of internal feelings of lowness is called avahitthā.
