Vyavahārin (व्यवहारिन्) refers to “those engaged in worldly life”, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] Happy he stands, happy he sits, happy sleeps and happy he comes and goes. Happy he speaks, and happy he eats. Such is the life of a man at peace. He who of his very nature feels no unhappiness in his daily life (vyavahārin) like worldly people [svabhāvādyasya naivārtirlokavadvyavahāriṇaḥ], remains undisturbed like a great lake, all sorrow gone. [...]”.
