Deśavyavahārya (देशव्यवहार्य) refers to a “spatial relation” [?], according to the Vṛtti on the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvivṛtivimarśinī 2.165.—Accordingly, “[...] And whereas that which is external to the house is next to the house, it is absolutely not the case as regards that which is [external] to consciousness, because of the impossibility for [consciousness]—which is devoid of material form—of having any spatial relation (deśavyavahārya-tva-abhāva) whatsoever such as proximity. Therefore this [externality] that must be established appears to be one thanks to a mere similarity”.
