Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryPācīna, (adj.) (Vedic prācīna, fr. adv. prāc bent forward) eastern i.e. facing the (rising) sun (opp. pacchā) J. I, 50 (°sīsaka, of Māyādevī’s couch), 212 (°lokadhātu); Miln. 6; DA. I, 311 (°mukha facing east); DhA. III, 155 (id.); VvA. 190; PvA. 74, 256. The opposite apācīna (e.g. S. III, 84) is only apparently a neg. pācīna, in reality a der. fr. apa (apa+ac), as pācīna is a der. fr. pra+ac. See apācīna. (Page 450)
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
