Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryMuṇḍavaṭṭin refers to: “shaven hireling” (?), a king’s servant, probably porter Vin. II, 137. The explanation given by Bdhgh on p. 319 (on CV. V, 29. 5) is twofold, viz. malla-kammakar’ādayo viya kacchaṃ banditvā nivāsenti; and muṇḍa-veṭṭhī (sic) ti yathā rañño kuhiñci gacchanto parikkhāra-bhaṇḍavahana-manussā ti adhippāyo. Maybe that reading veṭi is more correct.
Note: muṇḍavaṭṭin is a Pali compound consisting of the words muṇḍa and vaṭṭin.
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.
