Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryVaṭṭakāra refers to: a worker in brass. The meaning of vaṭṭa in this connection is not clear; the same vaṭṭa occurs in °loha (“round” metal?). Kern, Toev. s. v. compares it with Sk. vardhra leather strap, taking vaṭṭa as a corruption of vaḍḍha, but the connection brass›leather seems far-fetched. It is only found at Miln. 331.
Note: vaṭṭakāra is a Pali compound consisting of the words vaṭṭa and kāra.
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.
