Toṣin (तोषिन्) refers to “contentment”, according to the Kularatnapañcakāvatāra verse 1.10cd-15.—Accordingly, “[...] Equality (with respect to the opposites), a condition free of thought constructs, detachment in the midst of the objects of the senses, contentment because free of attachment (toṣin—vigataparigrahatoṣī) and non-dual—such is liberation in this life. Knowledge of reality, contentment, realisation of the supreme Self, right action—this is the purification of the sources of transient emotions. [...]”.
