Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryViyatta, (adj.) (cp. Sk. vyakta, vi+pp. of añj) determined, of settled opinion, learned, accomplished; only in stock phrase sāvakā viyattā vinītā visāradā (which Rh. D. translates “true hearers, wise and well-trained, ready etc. ” Dial. II. 114) at D. II, 104=A. IV, 310=S. V, 260=Ud. 63. The BSk. (at Divy 202) has śrāvakāh (for bhikkhū!) paṇḍitā bhaviṣyanti vyaktā vinītā viśāradāh. ‹-› 2. separated, split, dissenting, heretic Sn. 800 (=vavatthita bhinna dvejjhāpanna etc. Nd2 108; =bhinna SnA 530). Cp. the two meanings of vavatthita (=*vyakta), which quasi-correspond to viyatta 1 & 2 At this passage the v. l. (all SS of the Commentary) viyutta is perhaps to be perferred to viyatta.
Note. It is to be noted that viyatta in § 1 does not occur in poetry, but seems to have spelling viy° because of the foll. vinīta and visārada. Cp. vyatta & veyyatta. (Page 632)
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.
