Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Laukikarīti (लौकिकरीति) refers to the who “follows the manner of the people of the world”, and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.21. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] Following the manner of the people of the world (laukikarīti), the merciful lord spoke these affable and courteous words to Nandin and others: [...] Lord Śiva said:—O my attendants, with minds respectfully concentrated in thinking upon me, you shall come to me only when I remember you. When Śiva said like this, Nandin and others who constituted the powerful set of attendants of quick speed left for different places. When they went away and He was left alone with Satī, Śiva rejoiced much and sported with her”.
