Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryVambheti, (& Vamheti) (Caus. of vambh, a root of uncertain origin (connected with vam?). There is a form vambha given by Sk. lexicographers as a dial. word for vaṃśa. Could it be a contraction fr. vyambheti=vi+denom. fr. ambho 2, part. of contempt? — The Dhtp (602) defines vambh as “garahāyaṃ”) to treat with contempt, despise, revile, scold; usually either combined with khuṃseti or opposed to ukkaṃseti, e.g. Vin. II, 18; IV, 4; M. I, 200 (=Sn. 132 avajānāti), 402 sq.; D. I, 90; A. II, 27 sq.; Th. 1, 621; DA. I, 256 (=hīḷeti); DhA. IV, 38; VvA. 348.—pp. vambhayita. — vamheti is found at J. I, 191, 356; cp. vamhana.—Note. The spelling bh interchanges with that of h (vamheti), as ambho shows var. amho. Trenckner (introd. to M 1. p. 1) gives vambheti (as BB reading) the preference over vamheti (as SS reading). Morris’note on vambheti in J. P. T. S. 1884, 96 does not throw any light on its etymology.

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.
