Pali-English dictionary
Source: BuddhaSasana: Concise Pali-English Dictionarygeṇḍuka : (m.) a playing ball.
Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryGeṇḍuka, a ball for playing. The SS spelling is in all places bheṇḍuka, which has been taken into the text by the editors of J. and DhsA. The misspelling is due to a misreading of Singhalese bh›g; cp. spelling parābhetvā for parāgetvā.—bheṇḍukena kīḷi J.IV, 30; bhūmiyaṃ pahata-bheṇḍuka (striking against the ground) J.IV, 30; Vism.143 (pahaṭa-citra°)=DhsA.116 (where wrongly pahaṭṭha-citta-bheṇḍuka); J.V, 196 (citra-bh°); DhA.III, 364.

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.
