*Dāśa* (a fisherman). This occurs in an Upaniṣad passage according to Vedānta-sūtra II. 3. 43. Veda-Vyāsa (I. 12-13) includes him among antyajas (vide footnote 173). Manu X. 34 says that mārgava, dāsa (dāśa?) and kaivarta are the same and that he subsists by plying boats. Pāṇ. (III. 4. 73) derives the word. Vide under kaivarta.
