Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryUrūḷhava, (adj.) (doubtful, prob. for urūḷhavant, with affix vant to a pp. formed with ud°. The word is taken by Kern, Toev. s. v. as ud-ūḷha of vah (with d for r). The well accredited (and older) variant ubbuḷhavā is expld. (see Kern, s. v.) as pp. of ud + bṛh2, cp. upabrūhana. Perhaps we have to consider this as the legitimate form urūḷhava as its corruption. Morris, J. P. T. S. 1887, 141 takes urūḷhavā as ud + rūḷha, pp. of ruh (with r. for rr = dr), thus “overgrown”) large, bulky, immense; great, big, strong. Only in one stock phrase “nāgo isādanto urūḷhavo” Vv 209, 439; J. VI, 488; of which variant n. ī. ubbuḷhavā M. I, 414 = 450. The word is expld. at J. VI, 488 by “ubbāhana-samattha”; at VvA. 104 (pl. urṳḷhavā) by “thāmajava-parakkamehi byūhanto (v. l. brahmanto) mahantaṃ yuddha-kiccaṃ vahituṃ samatthā ti attho”. The BSk. udviddha (Divy 7) may possibly be a corruption of ubbūḷha. (Page 155)
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.
