'Avidyā' refers to fundamental avidyā. 'Can obstruct the karmic cognition of the mundane world' reveals the meaning of hindrance. That is, the subsequently attained cognition of conventional reality, namely the inconceivable karmic functioning mentioned above: because avidyā is dark and confused, lacking differentiation, it opposes this cognitive function and is called the hindrance to cognition. It receives its name from what it obstructs.
