Rava1 [for raya, with v. for y as freq. in Pāli, Dhtm 352: ru "gate"] speed, exceeding swiftness, galloping, in combn with dava running at Vin ii.101; iv.4; Mi.446(better reading here dav' atthe rav' atthe for dhāve ravatthe, cp. vv. ll. on p. 567 & Neumann, Mittl. Sammlg. ii.672 n. 49). Note. At the Vin passages it refers to speaking & making blunders by over -- hurrying oneself in speaking. -- The Dhtm (No. 871) gives rava as a synonym of rasa (with assāda & sneha). It is not clear what the connection is between those two meanings.
