Vṛttigocara (वृत्तिगोचर) refers to the “field of the activity (of the senses)”, according to the Ciñcinīmatasārasamuccaya verse 7.174cd-176ab.— Accordingly, “I will tell you about (the process) of withdrawal. If the entity born of the bliss of aesthetic delight is perceived as an object of perception, it recedes there into the field of the activity (of the senses) (vṛttigocara). Once this activity has ceased, the supreme wonder arises because it has dissolved away”.
