A doubt or hesitation; यत्र कर्मणि क्रियमाणे किंकथिका न भवति तत्कर्तव्यम् । यत्र तु हृदयं न तुष्यति तद्वर्जनीयम् (yatra karmaṇi kriyamāṇe kiṃkathikā na bhavati tatkartavyam | yatra tu hṛdayaṃ na tuṣyati tadvarjanīyam) || Medhātithi's gloss on Manusmṛti 4.161.
Kiṃkathikā is a Sanskrit compound consisting of the terms kim and kathikā (कथिका).
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
