In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Name of Mara in the time of Kakusandha Buddha. He was, in that birth, son of Kali, sister of Moggallana. He first incited the brahmin householders to revile Kakusandhas monks, chief of whom were Vidhura and Sanjiva; when that effort failed owing to the thoughts of goodwill, pity, sympathy and equanimity, developed by the monks, he next incited the brahmins to show great honour to the monks, hoping, in that way, to tempt them. But, owing to the intervention of Kakusandha, Dusis attempts failed and he was born in the Maha Niraya.
The story is given in the Maratajjaniya Sutta (M.i.333ff; also Thag.1187-91; ThagA.ii.183).
Dusi is mentioned as having died early because his life was cut off by kamma (Vsm.229).
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).

度世 [du shi]—Du Shi — [Terminology] Du (度 [du]) means "du" (渡 [du], to cross over), and "chu" (出 [chu], to exit), as in "chu shi" (出世 [chu shi], to transcend the world). It refers to going beyond the mundane world (出過世間 [chu guo shi jian]). The Sutra of Immeasurable Life (無量壽經 [wu liang shou jing]) states: "Surpassing all phenomena of the world, the mind constantly abides in the path of transcending the world (之道 [zhi dao])." It also states: "Attaining the merit and virtue of the path of transcending the world, long life, and nirvana (長壽泥洹之道 [zhang shou ni huan zhi dao])." The Eulogy on the Exposition of the Text (述文贊 [shu wen zan]) states: "'Di' (諦 [di]) means peace (安 [an]), 'Du' (度 [du]) means to exit, hence it is another name for the path of transcending the world (出世道 [chu shi dao])." The Commentary on the Great Sutra by Jingying (大經淨影疏 [da jing jing ying shu]) states: "The path of transcending the world, long life, and nirvana (長壽泥洹道 [zhang shou ni huan dao]) means being reborn in Amitabha's (彌陀 [mi tuo]) Pure Land later, and ultimately attaining nirvana (涅槃 [nie pan])." It is to save and ferry the people of the world. The Vimalakirti Sutra, Chapter on the Buddha-land (維摩經佛國品 [wei mo jing fu guo pin]) states: "Able to ferry all sentient beings across the world (度諸世間 [du zhu shi jian])."
度世—【術語】度者渡也，出也，如言出世。出過世間之謂也。無量壽經上曰：「超過世間諸所有法，心常諦住度世之道。」同下曰：「獲其福德度世長壽泥洹之道。」述文贊中曰：「諦者安也，度者出也，即出世道之別名故。」大經淨影疏下曰：「度世長壽泥洹道者，後生彌陀，終得涅槃。」
濟度世間之人也。維摩經佛國品曰：「能度諸世間。」

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
Prakrit-English dictionary
Dūsi (दूसि) in the Prakrit language is related to the Sanskrit word: Dūṣin.
Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
