The five forms of ignorance are : Nescience(avidya), egotism(ashmita), attachment(raga), aversion(dvesha), and clinging(abhinivesha); they are respectively known as obscurity (Tamas), delusion(moha), extream delusion (Maha-moha), gloom (Tamishra), and blimding gloom (Andhatamishra).
Egotism and the rest are the products of ignorance, hence they are if the nature of ignorance, or when the object is understood erraneously due to nescience, then egotism and the rest come to have the nature of ignorance. It is for this reason that the Blessed Varshagnya, declared ignorance to of five divisions.

Now, in the next verse which will be posted later on where further sub-division of the five forms of the ignorance will be described.
