(ASu, ASu)
[āśu:¦ Johnston, notes on Saundarān. vi.9 and Buddhac. vi.64, assumes use as ‘expletive’, ‘to strengthen the force of the verb,’ ‘in epic and Buddhist Skt.,’ and suggests relation to the Pali particle assu. He so interprets āśu in Manu 4.171. I disagree on all this; it seems to me that there is no reason to assume any āśu except the adj. and adverb, quick(ly). Tib. renders quickly at Buddhac. vi.64.]
