ś, and mss. sometimes show a for i after the sibilant,
oṣarati, (2) osarati; see avasarati; cf. Pkt. Lex. osiraṇa
= vyutsarjana, parityāga, Sheth; etym. obscure, cf.
Senart Mv i note 380, noting semantic correspondence
with Skt. ava-sṛj): (1) clears away: LV 240.15 (vs) vīthi
racita ratnavastra-dhāryai(r) (Foucaux °dhānyair, grain,
with Tib. ḥbrus) avaśiriyā (ger.), having cleared the streets
which were adorned etc. (before the Bodhisattva); (2)
sends off, throws (into prison): osiranti Mv i.24.1 (see
Senart's note, 389); (3) sends forth, emits (light, sound,
breath): Mv ii.315.6 mukhavātam (so with v.l. for Senart
°vāṭam) osireyā, (if the Bodhisattva) should send forth the
breath of his mouth; Mv ii.344.15, read prob. avaśiri sent forth
(a ray of light; mss. avaśiti, avati; Senart em. avasṛjati);
LV 357.3 (should be read) °sahasrāṃś c'ośarī(r) ātmabhāvā.
probably (Buddha) sent forth from his body (hundreds of)
thousands (of rays), see § 8.85; Gv 255.14 (vs) raśmisa-
mudra ośiratu (n. sg. m. pres. pple.); in Gv 254.26 (vs)
1st ed. eṣiriṣū jinaḥ, read osiri pūjitaḥ (see 2d ed.); Mv
ii.383.7 osire (v.l. ośire) would send forth (svaraṃ, a sound);
(4) throws down (fragrant powder, flowers; said of gods,
upon the Bodhisattva or Buddha; = avakirati, which
Senart reads by em. in Mv ii.343.19 and 349.16): Mv
ii.343.19 avaśire (or °sire, mss.) cūrṇadhārāṃ…vara-
candanasya; iii.273.16 ratanacūrṇaṃ antarīkṣāto osire
(v.l. ośire; here kept by Senart); ii.349.16 puṣpavarṣāṇi
antarīkṣeṇa ośiri (mss.); also of throwing down missiles,
SP 449.3 (vs) vajrāmayaparvatā-śanī (i.e. aśanī; v.l.
yadi, so WT, emending to °parvato; acc.) ghatanārthāya
ca (WT hi) mūrdhi (better with v.l. °dha, loc.; WT °dhni)
oṣaret, if one should hurl down on his head to kill him…
(for WT's interpretation see avasarati 1); (5) lets loose,
releases: Mv ii.452.16 (devīm) ośiritvā (after violently
seizing her); ii.459.15 yadi me na osariṣyasi (so mss.,
Senart em. osir°)…ātmānaṃ mārayiṣyaṃ; lets go
(women from a harem), gives license to: ośiritavyā (Senart
em. °yaṃ) Mv ii.424.20; (note ośiṣṭā, v.l. ośiriṣṭā, 425.3,
not osṛṣṭa as quoted from this place by Senart i note 380;
text seems to intend pple. of ava-śiṣ, left alone, and so
abandoned;) the subject is strīkāgāraṃ (v.l. strīyāg°),
the women of the harem must be turned loose (to carry on
affairs with other men); so 425.16 (istriyāgāraṃ, v.l.
stryā°) ośiritavyā (Senart em. °yaṃ); 426.7 striyāgāraṃ
(mss.) ośirati (mss. °riti); in another version of the same
story, iii.1.4, mss. osare(yaṃ) (Senart em. osir°), but 1.6
and 2.11 ośirati (stryāgāram); but on the borderline
between this and the next, or belonging perhaps to the
next, are (in the same story) Mv ii.426.17--18 mā hevaṃ
māṃ imasya brāhmaṇasya upasthānaparicaryāye osiri-
ṣyati (Senart; mss. ośiri°, osari°), I'm afraid he will hand
me over to serve and wait on this brahman (spoken by the
chief queen); 427.10 na me…eṣo brāhmaṇo ośiriṣyati,
…will not give me up; (6) abandons, throws out or away,
renounces (cf. the last two citations): Mv iii.165.12 padu-
māvatīṃ vadhyām avasirasi, you abandon P. to be killed;
ośiritvā kāmaratiṃ, abandoning the pleasure of desire Mv
i.143.13, repeated i.200.9 where mss. osaritvă (Senart
ośir°) and ii.4.6 where mss. okiritvā (Senart ośir°); Mv
ii.272.13 osirāhi (v.l. ośirehi) bhagavato traimāsaṃ
bhaktam, give up (renounce, resign the right to); ii.298.6
(vs) divya ośiritvā (so 1 ms., v.l. okiritvā, Senart wrongly
em. otaritvā) giving up heavenly things; Mv ii.367.19
vasudhāṃ sarvāṃ osiritvā (so 1 ms., v.l. osar°), abandoning
the whole earth; 367.22 ośiritvāna (one's family, to lead a
religious life); ii.334.22 suvarṇaniṣkāṃ…ośiritvā,
throwing away gold coins; ii.335.4, mss. manuṣya-pātraṃ
(read madhusya p°? Senart amṛtasya p°, bad metrically
and otherwise)…ośiritvā viṣasya pātraṃ pibed bāla-
buddhiḥ.
