Pali-English dictionary
Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryHāsu°, (of uncertain origin) occurs with hāsa° in combination with °pañña and is customarily taken in meaning “of bright knowledge” (i.e. hāsa+paññā), wise, clever. The syn. javana-pañña points to a meaning like “quickwitted, ” thus implying “quick” also in hāsu. Kern, Toev. I.134 puts forth the ingenious explanation that hāsu is a “cockneyism” for āsu=Sk. āśu “quick, ” which does not otherwise occur in Pāli. Thus his explanation remains problematic.—See e.g. M.III, 25; S.I, 63; V, 376; J.IV, 136; VI, 255, 329.—Abstr. °tā wisdom S.V, 412; A.I, 45. (Page 731)
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
