Ծٲⲹǰ첹ٳ (अनित्यलोकधात�) refers to the “impermanent world�, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 44.—[Definition of sympathetic joy (Գܳǻ岹)]—“Someone is practicing the qualities [in question, viz., generosity, morality, etc.]; a spectator rejoices in it and congratulates him, saying: ‘That is good; in this impermanent world (Ծٲⲹǰ첹ٳ) enveloped in the shadows of ignorance, you are strengthening the great mind [of bodhi] and you are planting this merit’�. [...] Such is the characteristic of sympathetic joy. Thus, just by a mind of sympathetic joy, the Bodhisattva surpasses the practitioners of the two Vehicles. What more could be said if he himself practices [the qualities in which he is rejoicing]?
