Pali-English dictionary
Source: BuddhaSasana: Concise Pali-English Dictionaryvisapīta : (adj.) dipped into poison.
Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryVisapīta refers to: (an arrow) dipped into poison (lit. which has drunk poison). At another place (see pīta1) we have suggested reading visappita (visa+appita), i.e. “poison-applied, ” which was based on reading at Vism. 303. See e.g. J. V, 36; Miln. 198; Vism. 303, 381; DhA. I, 216.
Note: visapīta is a Pali compound consisting of the words visa and pīta.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
