The name of an indigenous Indian tribe. According to the Rig-Veda, the oldest document in India, Dasa is a demon with black skin, a flat nose, and who sometimes hides in the walls of a city and attacks the Aryans, until Indra, the god worshipped by the Aryans, uses his weapon to conquer it. It is therefore assumed that the indigenous people were conquered by the Aryans invading the Indus River basin. It is often considered synonymous with Dasyu. Incidentally, since some of the indigenous people became slaves to the Aryans, the word Dasa came to be used as a common noun meaning "slave" from the late Vedic period onwards.

インドの先住民族名。インド最古の文献『リグ・ベーダ』によると,黒い肌をもち,鼻平たく,ときに城壁にこもってアーリア人を襲う悪魔で,アーリア人の崇拝するインドラ神が武器をふるって征服したとある。そこから,アーリア人のインダス川流域侵入によって征服された先住民と推定されている。ダスユ Dasyuと同意語とされることが多い。なお,先住民からアーリア人の奴隷になる者が出たため,ベーダ時代の後期から,ダーサという語は「奴隷」という普通名詞の意味で用いられるようになった。
