Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryAnuyanta, at A.V, 22 is doubtful reading (v.l. anuyutta). The meaning is either “inferior to, dependent on, a subject of, a vassal” or “attending on”. The explanation may compare Sk. anuyātaṃ attendance (anu + yā, cp. anuyāyin) or Sk. yantṛ ruler (yam), in which latter case anu-yantṛ would be “an inferior ruler” and P. yanta would represent the n. a.g. yantā as a-stem. The v. l. is perhaps preferable as long as other passages with anuyanta are not found (see anuyutta 2). (Page 41)
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.
