Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryPāribhaṭya, (nt.) (& der.) (fr. pari+bhṛ) “petting (or spoiling) the children” (Miln. trsl. II. 287) but perhaps more likely “fondness of being petted” or “nurture” (as Vism. trsl. 32) (being carried about like on the lap or the back of a nurse, as explanation at Vism. 28=VbhA. 483). The readings are different, thus we find °bhaṭyatā at Vbh. 240; VbhA. 338, 483; °bhatyatā at Vism. 17, 23, 27 (vv. ll. °bhaṭṭatā & °bbhaṭṭatā); °bhaṭṭakatā at Miln. 370; °bhaṭṭatā at Vbh. 352; KhA 236; Nd2 39. The more det. expln at VbhA. 338 is “alaṅkāra-karaṇ’ādīhi dāraka-kīḷāpanaṃ etaṃ adhivacanaṃ. ” — See stock phrase under mugga-sūpyatā. (Page 454)
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.
