Hasati & Hassati
Hasati & Hassati [owing to similarity of meaning the two roots has to laugh (Sk. hasati, pp. hasita) & h%+ to
be excited (Sk. h%+yati, pp. h%+ita & h%+&a) have become mixed in P!li (see also h!sa). -- The usual
(differentiated) correspondent of Sk. h%+yati is ha'sati. The Dhtp (309) gives ha'sa (=har+a) with tu&&hi, and
(310) hasa with hasana] 1. to laugh, to be merry; pres. hasati Bu i.28; Mhvs 35, 59; hassati Sn 328, 829;
