Who are the so-called 'Pandits' that the text describes as lacking true happiness?

The text describes certain individuals who call themselves wise 'Pandits' but are depicted as having no real happiness. As explained in Chapter 50, these individuals are consumed by pride, believing, "Skilled in scriptures, possessing genius, there is no other equal to me." However, this great pride is identified as a cause for dissatisfaction. They are entangled in worldly attachments, described as being surrounded by the "ropes of thirst for sons, cattle, etc.," and hold the delusional belief that "I am the body, mine are wife and home." Because they are caught in this play of Maya and ignorance, they do not possess even a trace of true happiness despite their proclaimed wisdom.
