Introduction

Two roots: doṣa and dveṣa

Dosa’s divergent meanings stem from its having two roots, corresponding to Sanskrit doṣa (fault) and dveṣa (hatred). The two meanings occur together as dosadosā in Dhp 357:

• Weeds are the imperfection of fields; hatred is the imperfection of this people.

Tiṇadosāni khettāni dosadosā ayaṁ pajā. (Dhp 357)
