Pali-English dictionary
Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryDantakūta refers to: tooth of a maimed bullock (?) (thus taking kūṭa as kūṭa4, and equivalent to kūṭadanta), in phrase asanivicakkaṃ danta-kūṭaṃ D.III, 44=47, which has also puzzled the translators (cp. Dial. III, 40: “munching them all up together with that wheel-less thunderbolt of a jawbone, ” with note: “the sentence is not clear”).
Note: dantakūta is a Pali compound consisting of the words danta and kūta.
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.
