In Hinduism

Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)

Deśī (देशी) refers to the twenty (or twenty-one) subdivisions of Rūpaka in ancient Indian art of dance and theater.—Puruṣottama Miśrā, while defining the terms mārga and deśī quotes the Saṅgītanārāyaṇa (Vol. II, pp.406-410) which he says has been taken from Kohala (the work of Kohala). Following mārga, the deśī forms are next listed out.

These are the sixteen types as described by Dattila:

  1. saṭṭaka [saṭṭakam];
  2. troṭaka [troṭakam];
  3. goṣṭhī;
  4. vṛndaka [vṛndakam];
  5. śilpaka [śilpakam];
  6. prekṣaka [prekṣakam];
  7. sañjāpaka [sañjāpakam];
  8. halliśa;
  9. rāsaka;
  10. ullāpyaka;
  11. śrīgadita [śrīgaditam];
  12. nāṭyarāsaka [nāṭyarāsakam];
  13. durmallī;
  14. prasthāna [prasthānam];
  15. kavya;
  16. lāsika;

This lists is followed by yet another bearing the names of another 12 forms.

  1. ḍomikā;
  2. bhaṇikā;
  3. prasthānaka;
  4. bhāṇaka;
  5. lāsikā;
  6. rāsikā;
  7. durmallikā;
  8. vidagdha [vidagdhaḥ];
  9. śilpinī;
  10. hasti / daṇḍinī;
  11. ulmukī / bhillulī;
  12. tumbikā;

The quotation does not mention any heading for this list of 12 deśī rūpakas. Perhaps they refer to some forms of nṛtta-prabandhas. The author says that many ālaṅkārikas have spoken about these and therefore he will not delve any more into it. The inclusion of established uparūpakas under the head of mārga and the reference to Dattila on the subject of deśī-rūpakas raises some doubt as to whether or not the work of Kohala used as reference in Saṅgītanārāyaṇa was an authentic one.

德士 [de shi]—Virtuous scholar, a term for a monk in the Tang dynasty.

[The following represents an unverified English translation. For all purposes consult the original Chinese text.]

德士 [de shi]—(Déshì) — [Miscellaneous Name] An alternative name for a 僧 [seng] (sēng) (monk).

釋門正統 [shi men zheng tong] (Shìmén Zhèngtǒng) (Orthodox Lineage of Buddhism) Volume 4 states: "In the first year of the 宣和 [xuan he] (Xuān Hé) era of the Tang [sic, should be Song] Dynasty, an imperial edict (詔 [zhao], zhào) commanded that 釋氏 [shi shi] (Shìshì) (Buddhists/Buddhism) be reformed into 金仙 [jin xian] (Jīnxiān) (Golden Immortals), 菩薩 [pu sa] (Púsà) (Bodhisattvas) into 大士 [da shi] (Dàshì) (Great Beings), and 僧 [seng] (sēng) (monks) into (Déshì) (virtuous scholars)."

宋費袞梁谿漫志 [song fei gun liang xi man zhi] (Sòng Fèi Gǔn Liángxī Mànzhì) (Fei Gun's Random Notes from Liangxi of the Song Dynasty) states: "In the 宣和 [xuan he] (Xuān Hé) 庚子 [geng zi] (Gēngzǐ) year, monks (僧 [seng], sēng) were renamed (Déshì). 饒德操 [rao de cao] (Ráo Décāo), who was already a monk, therefore composed the 改頌 [gai song] (Gǎi Déshì Sòng) (Ode on Changing to De-shi). The last two stanzas say:

The 衲子 [na zi] (nàzǐ) (monks) in their multitude are vexed beyond measure,
Leaning on the pine (倚松 [yi song], yǐsōng), they transmit the Dharma, bringing peace to the mind (法安心 [fa an xin], fǎ ānxīn).
Though bottles (缾 [ping], píng), plates (盤 [pan], pán), hairpins (釵 [chai], chāi), and bracelets (釧 [chuan], chuàn) may differ in form,
They return to me the pure gold (一色金 [yi se jin], yī sè jīn) I always possessed.
In my youth, I once wore a scholar's cap (書生帽 [shu sheng mao], shūshēngmào);
In old age, I should don the 冠 [guan] (Déshìguān) (De-shi's cap).
This body is without self, and without things;
The 三教 [san jiao] (sānjiào) (Three Teachings) have always found peace everywhere."

德士—【雜名】僧之異名。釋門正統四曰:「唐宣和元年,詔革釋氏為金仙,菩薩為大士,僧為德士。」宋費袞梁谿漫志曰:宣和庚子,改僧為德士。饒德操已為僧,因作改德士頌。末二首云:衲子紛紛惱不禁,倚松傳與法安心。缾盤釵釧形雖異,還我從來一色金。小年曾著書生帽,老大當簪德士冠。此身無我亦無物,三教從來處處安。

India history and geography

Deśī.—(EI 11), a guild of local merchants. This is also the name of Prakrit words which are neither Sanskrit (tat-sama) nor derived from Sanskrit (tad-bhava). Note: deśī is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.

Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Indian Epigraphical Glossary

Deśī (देशी) was classified into eighteen dialects, as described in the Kathās (narrative poems) such as Uddyotanasūri in his 8th-century Kuvalayamālā (a Prakrit Campū, similar to Kāvya poetry).

Page 152.24 ff.: Here we have a specimen of eighteen Deśī dialects spoken in:

  1. Region of Godāvarī (Nasik),
  2. Madhyadeśa,
  3. Magadha,
  4. Antarvedī (region between Ganges and Jumna),
  5. Kīra (Kullu Kangra),
  6. Dacca,
  7. Sindhu,
  8. Maru,
  9. Gujarat,
  10. Lāṭa,
  11. Mālava,
  12. Karṇāṭaka,
  13. Tāpti,
  14. Kosala,
  15. Mahārāṣṭra,
  16. Āndhra,
  17. Khasa, and
  18. Pārasa.

These different idioms of speech were spoken by the shop-keepers in the market place of Vijayāpurī which was thus a big cosmopolitan town where merchants from all over the country displayed their goods. This reminds us of Ujjainī where the citizens knew the languages and scripts of many countries as stated by Bāṇa in the Kādambarī.

得失 [dé shī] [de shi]—
1. Right and wrong, success and failure. From Shiji (史記 [shi ji]), Volume 63, "Biography of Laozi and Han Fei" (老子韓非傳 [lao zi han fei chuan]): "Lamenting that upright and honest (廉直 [lian zhi]) people are not tolerated by corrupt and crooked (邪枉 [xie wang]) officials, observing the changes in the gains and losses of past events, he therefore wrote Gufen (孤憤 [gu fen]) and other works, totaling over 100,000 words." From Chuke Paian Jingqi (初刻拍案驚奇 [chu ke pai an jing qi]), Volume 28: "Life is like being lodged in the vast emptiness (太虛 [tai xu]); during this, there are prosperity and decline (榮悴 [rong cui]), sorrow and joy (悲歡 [bei huan]), gains and losses, gathering and scattering (聚散 [ju san]), some die and others are born (彼死此生 [bi si ci sheng]), changing forms and shedding shells (變形換殼 [bian xing huan ke]), like a dream (如夢 [ru meng]) in the end."
2. Benefits and drawbacks, appropriateness and inappropriateness. From Hanshu (漢書 [han shu]), Volume 8, "Annals of Emperor Xuan" (宣帝紀 [xuan di ji]): "He was highly talented (高材 [gao cai]) and fond of learning (好學 [hao xue]), but also enjoyed wandering and chivalry (游俠 [you xia]), cockfighting (鬥雞 [dou ji]) and horse racing (走馬 [zou ma]), and was fully aware of the wickedness and evil (奸邪 [jian xie]) in the neighborhood, and the pros and cons of official governance (吏治 [li zhi])." From Liu Xie (劉勰 [liu xie]) of the Southern Dynasties Liang (南朝梁 [nan chao liang]), Wenxin Diaolong (文心雕龍 [wen xin diao long]), "Historical Narratives" (史傳 [shi chuan]): "To list the merits and demerits to indicate promotion and demotion (黜陟 [chu zhi]), and to examine survival and destruction (存亡 [cun wang]) to mark encouragement and warning (勸戒 [quan jie])."

得失:1.是非成敗。《史記.卷六三.老子韓非傳》:「悲廉直不容於邪枉之臣,觀往者得失之變,故作孤憤、……十餘萬言。」《初刻拍案驚奇》卷二八:「人生寄於太虛之中,其間榮悴悲歡,得失聚散,彼死此生,變形換殼,如夢一場。」
2.利弊、適當和不適當。《漢書.卷八.宣帝紀》:「高材好學,然亦喜游俠,鬥雞走馬,具知閭里奸邪,吏治得失。」南朝梁.劉勰《文心雕龍.史傳》:「舉得失以表黜陟,徵存亡以標勸戒。」

From The Exposure of a Rustic (野叟曝言 [ye sou pu yan]), Chapter 59: "When in power, they gather like flies and mosquitoes (蠅蚊 [ying wen]); when out of power (失勢 [shi shi]), they scatter like birds and beasts (鳥獸 [niao shou]), and many even betray their masters for glory."

得勢:1.得到權位。《韓非子.難勢》:「今曰堯舜得勢而治,桀紂得勢而亂。」《野叟曝言》第五九回:「得勢則聚若蠅蚊,失勢則散若鳥獸、甚至賣主求榮者頗多。」
2.獲得有利的形勢。如:「雖仗著地形得勢,攻守皆易,但仍不可掉以輕心。」

得似 [dé shì] [de shi]—
何如 [he ru] (hé rú), 怎麼似 [zen me shi] (zěn me sì): How does it compare? How is it like?
Song (宋 [song]) Dynasty. Yang Wanli's (楊萬里 [yang wan li]) poem 〈On Imperial Summons to Serve at the Academy, Departing Ming Mountain Post at Dawn〉 (詔追供職學省曉發鳴山驛 [zhao zhui gong zhi xue sheng xiao fa ming shan yi]): "Everything in the imperial city (帝城 [di cheng]) is good, but can it compare to returning home early (早還家 [zao hai jia])?"
