Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryKolaputti, at A. I, 38 is composition form of kulaputta, and is to be combined with the foll.—vaṇṇa-pokkharatā, i.e. light colour as becoming a man of good family. Kern, Toev. s. v. quite unnecessarily interprets it as “heroncolour, ” comparing Sk. kolapuccha heron. A similar passage at Nd1 80=Nd2 505 reads kolaputtikena vā vaṇṇapokkharatāya vā, thus taking kolaputtikaṃ as nt, meaning a man of good virtue. The A passage may be corrupt and should then be read °puttikaṃ. (Page 229)
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.
