ǰ첹ṛṣṭi (लोकदृष्ट�) refers to the “world’s eyes�, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] The wise man, unlike the worldly man, does not see inner stillness, distraction or fault in himself, even when living like a worldly man. Nothing is done by him who is free from being and non-being, who is contented, desireless and wise, even if in the world’s eyes (ǰ첹ṛṣṭi) he does act. [naiva kiñcitkṛta� tena lokadṛṣṭyā vikurvatā] [...]�.
