An epithet given to the great seer Vyāsa. The Tibetan nus can bu/nus pa can bu, which would back-translate to the Sanskrit *samarthika, is in this case either a mistranslation or the result of a corruption in the original source, which would likely have read *smārtikaśāstra, a reference to the “treatises” of those who follow the Brahmanical traditions.
