ṣṭԲ (चेष्टमान) refers to “being active�, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “Knowing yourself as truly one and indestructible, how could a wise man possessing self-knowledge like you feel any pleasure in acquiring wealth? [...] Whether feted or tormented, the wise man is always aware of his supreme self-nature and is neither pleased nor disappointed. The great souled person sees even his own body in action (ṣṭԲ) as if it were some-one else's [ṣṭԲ� śarīra� sva� paśyatyanyaśarīravat], so how should he be disturbed by praise or blame?�.
