Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryPuñcikatā, is wrong reading at Dhs. 1059 in taṇhā paraphrase (pattern 1 Nd2 taṇhā) for mucchañcikatā. The readings of id. p. are puñcikatā Dhs. 1136, 1230; Vbh. 351, 361 (v. l. pucchañji°); mucchañci° at Nd1 8 (v. l. BB mucchañji°, SS suvañci°); Nd2 p. 152 (v. l. BB pucchiñci°, SS pupañci°); pucchañjikatā VbhA. 477. The translation of Dhs. gives “agitation” as meaning. The C. (DhsA. 365) reads puñcikạtā (vv. ll. puñcaṃ vikatā; pucañcikaka; pucchakatā) and connects it with pucchaṃ cāleti (wagging of a dog’s tail, hence “agitation”); Expositor II. 470 gives “fluster. ” The C. on Vbh. (VbhA. 477) expls as “lābhan’âlābhanaka-ṭṭhāne vedhanā kampanā nīcavuttatā, ” thus “agitation. ” (Page 463)
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.
