Pali-English dictionary
Perita, is Kern’s (Toev. s. v.) proposed reading for what he considered a faulty spelling in bhaya-merita (p for m) J. IV, 424=V. 359. This however is bhaya-m-erita with the hiatus-m, and to supplant perita (=Sk. prerita) is unjustified. (Page 473)
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.
