Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English Dictionary1) Parikanta, 2 at Vin. II, 80 (bhāsita°) is probably to be read as pārikata (pp. of parikaroti). Bdhgh explanations as parik‹-› kametvā kata, but it is difficult to derive it fr. parikkamati. Vin. Texts III, 18 trsl. “as well in speech as in act” and identify it with parikanta1, hardly justified. Cp. also Kern. Toev. s. v. The passage is evidently faulty. (Page 421)
2) Parikanta, 1 (pari+kanta2 of kantati2) cut open Vin. III, 89 (kucchi p.). See also parikatta & cp. Kern, Toev. s. v. (misreading for °katta?).—Note. Reading parikantaṃ upāhanaṃ at J. VI, 51 is with v. l. to be changed to pariyantaṃ. (Page 421)
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.
