Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryRindī, at Th. 2, 265 is doubtful. The T. reading is “te rindī va lambante’nodaka, ” said of breasts hanging down in old age. The C. compares them with leather water bottles without water (udaka-bhastā viya). We have to read either with Morris, J. P. T. S. 1884, 94 “rittī va” (=rittā iva), “as it were, empty, ” or (preferably) with ThA. 212 “therī ti va” (“like an old woman”). The translation (Sisters, p. 124) takes the C. explanation of udaka-bhastā as equivalent to T. reading rindi, in saying “shrunken as skins without water”; but rindī is altogether doubtful & it is better to read therī which is according to the context. We find the same meaning of therī (“old woman”) at Pv. II, 116. (Page 571)
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.
