sār- see below, but also caus. s.v. 1 osarati (cf. Pali
avasarati, osarati, to enter, to arrive, CPD), (1) approaches,
arrives: Mv i.13.6 (vs) tasmiṃ narake osaranti, they arrive
at this hell (otherwise Senart); osarantasya Mv ii.108.7,
9, 11, and °nto 10 (pres. pple.), approaching, drawing
near; aor. avasāri or °riṃ, 1st or 3d sg., in phrase yena
…tad avasāri(ṃ), arrived at, went to where…was (on
the long ā see § 38.23; the corresponding Pali phrase
is tad avasari, e.g. Vin. iii.11.30) Mv i.319.14, 16, 20;
323.13, 16 (in 16 mss. anusāri); ii.117.20; 119.6; 120.17;
123.16; iii.47.12; aor. with short ă, osare Mv ii.222.1
(mṛgābhimukhaṃ, approached, went up in the direction
of the deer, in hunting); iii.364.19 vanāto so osare rāja-
dhānīṃ; iii.453.3 (= Pali Jāt. v.252.20), read: na te
koṣṭhesmiṃ osaranti (go to, resort to; Pali upenti) na
kumbhe na kalopiyaṃ (see s.v. kalopī); Gv 241.13 ekaromi
sugatasya osarī (3 pl. aor.), settled, lodged; osari Śikṣ 336.3
(read) prajñapradīpa ya osari, and 15; 337.3, 17; oṣaret
(opt.) SP 449.3, see avaśirati 4, WT vajrāmaya-parvato
yadi ghatanārthāya hi mūrdhni oṣaret, should alight, fall
upon his head, which is perhaps possible; (2) osarati and
its forms also are written for ośirati (avaśirati, q.v.);
in my opinion this set of forms must be wholly unrelated
to the above (despite Senart i note 380). Perhaps ośir°
(or osir°) should always be read by em. when osar° occurs
in the mss. in the meanings of avaśirati. Note especially
Mv iii.1.4 osare(yaṃ), mss. (Senart osir°), but in 1.6
and 2.11 mss. ośirati in precisely similar context.
