  • Asati - (असाटी in Hindi) to calm a rage and suppress one's inner ire for the sake of peace. Specifically, a commitment to pass on one's right to complain. The private version of ahimsa.

    From the sanskrit words "esati" (drives on) and "yasati" (boils), which share the root for the English word "ire". The root "a" (without, lack of) to indicate negation.

    Alternate forms:

    verb - asate

    adj. - asated

    noun. - asation


    Asati is also the name of a merchant community in the Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh, India.
