Etymology 1

Verb

භාසති (root bhās, first conjugation)

1. Sinhala script form of bhāsati (“speak”)
   • 2006, The First Book in the Suttanta-Pitaka: Dīgha-Nikāya (I)‎^[1], page 2:

     තත්‍ර සුදං සුප‍්පියො පරිබ‍්බාජකො අනෙකපරියායෙන බුද‍්ධස‍්ස අවණ‍්ණං භාසති, ධම‍්මස‍්ස අවණ‍්ණං භාසති, සඞ‍්ඝස‍්ස අවණ‍්ණං භාසති.

     Tatra sudaṃ suppiyo paribbājako anekapariyāyena buddhassa avaṇṇaṃ bhāsati, dhammassa avaṇṇaṃ bhāsati, saṅghassa avaṇṇaṃ bhāsati.

     Now just then Suppiya the mendicant was speaking in many ways in dispraise of the Buddha, in dispraise of the Doctrine, in dispraise of the Order.

   • c. 50 BCE, Theragatha, first sutta:

     Katantaṁ paccavekkhantā, / imamatthamabhāsisuṁ.

     Reviewing their completed task, / they spoke about it in these words.
