ǰ첹 (लोकवार्त�) (or Lokavārttā) refers to “talk on wordly matters�.—Cf. Ҵṣṭī첹ٳ mentioned in verse 3.25 of the ṣṭṅgṛdⲹṃh (Sūtrasthāna) by 岵ṭa.—[...] Regarding ṣṭī첹ٳ the commentators are at variance among themselves: Aruṇadatta understands it as “conversation (accompanied) with amusement”�(goṣṭhyām krīḍāyā� kathā�); Candranandana as “entertainment with song, tabor, etc.”�(goṣṭhyo gāndharvamṛdaṅgādibhi�) and “conversation on poetry� (屹ⲹ첹ٳ�); Hemādri as “talk on wordly matters� (ǰ첹ٳ�) and “talk on religious [scientific] works� (śٰٳ�); and Indu as “conversation held in the company of witty people”�(vidaghdhānām āsanabandho goṣṭhī tasyā� kṛtā� kathā�). The Tibetan comes closest to this last interpretation, translating dga-’dun gtam (“conversation held in pleasant company�).
