The word hubris has an equivalent,it is called Thaat.
I needed to get to the bottom of this, and no, you're way off the mark. Thaath translates in English as pomp, grandeur, ostentation.
While there are Indian words for arrogance, ego and pride, there isn't one (even in your beloved Sanskrit) that exactly matches hubris. Explains why you can't swallow this little fact that Indian contribution to Mathematics may be good, but not that greatly impressive.
BTW, I'm sure there is no Indian idiom equivalent to "eating the humble pie" either.
