adjective
Tasa (adjective) [from tasati 2 ] 1. trembling, frightened Ja I 336 = 344 (vakā, explained at 342 by tasita); perhaps the derived meaning of: 2. moving, running (cf. to meaning 1 and 2 Greek τρέω to flee and to tremble), always in combination tasa-thāvarā (plural) movable and immovable beings [cf. Mvu I 207 jaṅgama-sthāvara; II 10 calaṃ sthāvara]. Metaphorically of people who are in fear and trembling, as distinguished from a thāvara, a self-possessed and firm being (= Arahant Pj I 245). In this sense t. is interpreted by tasati 1 as well as by tasati 2 (to have thirst or worldly cravings) at Pj I 245: tasantī ti tasā, sataṇhānaṃ sabhayānañ c'etaṃ adhivacanaṃ; also at Nidd II §479: tasa ti yesaṃ tasitā (tasiṇā?) taṇhā appahīnā, etc., and ye te santāsaṃ āpajjanti. S I 141; IV 117, 351; V 393; Snp 146, 629; Dhp 405, Thag 876; Ja V 221; Nidd II §479; Dhp-a IV 175.
