Phāsuka (adjective) [from phāsu. Cf. Prākrit phāsuya; according to Pischel, Pkt Gr. §208 Jain Sanskrit prāsuka is a distortion of Pāli phāsuka. Perhaps phāsu is abstracted from phāsuka] pleasant, convenient, comfortable Ja III 343; IV 30; Dhp-a II 92; Pv-a 42. -aphāsuka unpleasant, uncomfortable, not well Ja II 275, 395; Dhp-a I 28; II 21. Note: It seems probable that phāsuka represents a Sanskrit sparśuka (cf. Pischel §62), which would be a derived from spr̥ś in same meaning as phassa 2 ("lovely"). This would confirm the suggestion of phāsu being a secondary formation.
