Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryApakāsati, at Vin.II, 204 is to be read as apakassati and interpreted as “draw away, distract, bring about a split or dissension (of the Saṅgha)”. The v. l. on p. 325 justifies the correction (apakassati) as well as Bdhgh’s expln. “parisaṃ ākaḍḍhanti”. — Cp. A.III, 145 & see avapakāsati. The reading at the id. p. at A.V, 74 is avakassati (combd. w. vavakassati, where Vin.II, 204 has avapakāsati), which is much to be preferred (see vavakassati). (Page 50)
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.
