ऊहसति (Uhasati)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
ūhasati (= Pali id.
whether it represents Skt. ud-, ava-, or upa-has- is a moot question), laughs (in joy): [Page151-b] Mv 〔i.218.18〕 = 〔ii.20.20〕 (vs), all mss. mahāhāsaṃ ca ūhati, kept by Senart (see his note)
I think we must read ūhasi (or °se), 3 sg. aor.
〔ii.268.13 ff.〕 mahā-ūhasitaṃ ūhase (repeated several times), laughed a loud laugh
〔i.221.20〕 = 〔ii.24.7〕 (vs) ūhasāsi (seems guaranteed by meter and sense
mss. in 〔ii.24.7〕 ūhāsasi, ūhasari
in 〔i.221.20〕 more remote
the laugh is one of joy over the following thought:) ayaṃ dānim eko bhavo paścimo (t)ti.
