Yaso & Yasa
Yaso & Yasa (nt.) [Vedic ya$a1 (nt.). The word follows the a˚ declension, but preserves & favours the instr.
yasas! after the s˚ decl. (like mano, ceto etc,), e. g. at J i.134. -- In the nom. & acc. sg. both forms yaso &
yasa(') occur; in cpds. the form yasa˚ is the usual; yaso as masc. is found at Sn 438] glory, fame, repute,
success, high position. On term as used with ref. to the brahmin see Fick, Sociale Gliederung 128, 129
The prevailing idea of Dhammap!la is that yaso consists of a great retinue, & company of servants,
followers etc. This idea is already to be found at D i.118=126 where y. is founded on paris! (cp. DA i.143
on D i.48; DA i.298: yasas! ti !*! -- &hapana -- samatthat!ya). See e. g. VvA 122 (yaso=pariv!ra); PvA 137
(yasas!= mahati pariv!ra -- sampattiy!); cp. J i.134 (r!j! mahantena yasena uppana' gacchati). -- D i.137

(bhoga+); Vism 393; Sdhp 306, 518. -- yasa' deti to give credit J i.180. mah! -- yaso great fame J i.46 (v.
266), cp. yas -- agga the highest (of) fame J i.51, where coupled with l!bh -- agga the greatest gain. The
latter combn is stereotype in the Niddesa (see e. g. Nd2 55), where the 4 worldly ideals are given in
sequence l!bha, yaso, pasa's!, sukha. -- With kitti we find yaso at Sn 817 (see defn & exegesis at Nd1
147). -- Opp. ayasa D iii.260, 286; A ii.188; iv.157 sq. -- d!yika giving (or a giver of) repute J vi.285. --
