Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryUddāpa, (*udvāpa) foundation of a wall, in stock phrase daḷh° etc. D. III, 101; S. V, 194 = also at J. VI, 276 (= pākāra-vatthu C.). Kern, Toev. s. v. refers it to Sk. ud-vapati to dig out, and translates “moat, ditch”. The meaning “wall” or “mound” however harmonises quite well with the der. fr. “digging”, cp. E. dike › Ger. Teich. See also uddāma 2. (Page 135)
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.
