Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryMāpeti, (Caus. of mā, see mināti. The simplex mimīte has the meaning of “erect, build” already in Vedic Sk. ) 1. to build, construct S. II, 106 (nagaraṃ); Mhvs 6, 35 (id.); Vv 8453; VvA. 260.—2. to create, bring about, make or cause to appear by supernatural power (in folkoristic literature, cp. nimmināti in same sense) J. II, 111 (sarīraṃ nāvaṃ katvā māpesi transformed into a ship); IV, 274; Mhvs 28, 31 (maggaṃ caused a road to appear).—3. to measure out (?), to declare (?), in a doubtful passage J. IV, 302, where a misreading is probable, as indicated by v. l. BB (samāpassiṃsu for T. tena amāpayiṃsu). Perhaps we should read tena-māsayiṃsu. (Page 529)
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.
