Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryLīḷhā, (f.) (abstr. of līḷha, Sk. līḍha, pp. of lih, lit. being polished, cp. ullīḍha polished) grace, ease, charm, adroitness; always used with ref. to the Buddha (Buddhalīḷhā), e.g. J. I, 155; DhA. I, 33; III, 79. So in phrase Buddhalīḷhāya dhammaṃ deseti “to expound the doctrine with the Buddha’s mastery” J. I, 152, 155; III, 289; VvA. 217 (spelling wrongly līḷāya). Of the B’s gait: J. I, 93, 149; DhA. II, 41. The combination with vilāsa, as mentioned by Childers, applies to līlā (q. v.), which may stand for līḷhā at the passages mentioned, although not used of the Buddha. (Page 584)
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.
