(Auto-Translation): (Only) that which depends on the Mahabodhi is (the state of) the upadaya. (Mahabodhi can depend and also not depend; upadaya can either stand or fall; it is only due to relying on the Mahabodhi that it can occur, hence the name upadaya is given. This is in accordance with the Atthakatha. In the original account, it states - "because it is taken in a manner similar to the Mahabodhi without letting go of the Mahabodhi, it is called upadaya."
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.
