Common card · No. 452780

Dāsa is originally a Sanskrit word found in ancient Indian texts, including the Rigveda, Pali canon, and Arthashastra. The Sanskrit term Dasa (or Das) generally translates to devotee, disciple, votary, or one engaged in selfless service or seva. It is primarily used as a surname and as an honorific title across communities to signify humility, servitude, and devotion. Dāsa, in some contexts, is also related to dasyu or asura, which have been translated by some scholars as "demon", "slave," "servant," or "barbarian," depending on the context in which the word is used.
