India history and geography
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Indian Epigraphical GlossaryKullaka.—cf. udaka-asīhāra-kullaka; probably, a kind of channel. Note: kullaka is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.

Pali-English dictionary
Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryKullaka, crate, basket work, a kind of raft, a little basket J. VI, 64.
—vihāra (adj.) the state of being like one who has found a raft (?) Vin. II, 304 (cp. Bdhgh uttānavihāra ibid. p. 330, and Vin. Texts III, 404: an easy life). More correct is Kern’s explanation (Toev. s. v.) which puts kullaka in this combination=kulla2 (Sk. kauyla), thus meaning well-bred, of good family, gentlemanly.—saṇṭhāna consisting of stalks bound together, like a raft J. II, 406—408 (not correct Morris, J. P. T. S. 1884, 78). Cp. Kern, Toev. I. 154. (Page 223)
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.
