Vāksaṅkṣobha (वाक्सङ्क्षोभ) refers to “disturbances of speech”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] At the very moment the highest reality manifests itself, [the Yogin] becomes absorbed in that [reality] which even the guru is not able to define [by saying], ‘this is it’. [The Yogin] should carefully avoid disturbances of speech (vāksaṅkṣobha), mind and body [vāṅmanaḥkāyasaṅkṣobhaṃ] and should always hold himself very steady, like [one holds] a bowl of liquid. [...]”.
