*Āsita1 [= asita1?] "having eaten", but probably māsita (pp. of mṛś to touch, cp. Sk. mṛśita, which is ordinarily in massita), since it only occurs in combns. where m precedes, viz. J ii.446 (dumapakkani -- m -- asita, where C. reading is māsita & expln. khāditvā asita (v. l. āsita) dhāta); Miln 302 (visam -- āsita affected with poison = visamāsita).Cp. also the form māsi(n) touching, eating at J vi.354 (tiṇa˚, expld. by C. as khādaka). -- āsita at J v.70 is very doubtful, v. l. āsina & asita; C. expls. by dhāta suhita p. 73.
