III, 488 as 1st pl. med. yamāmase in imper. sense: “pare ca na vijānanti mayaṃ ettha yamāmase, ” which is explained both at DhA. I, 65, Th. 1 A, & J. III, 489 in connection with yama, 2 viz. “yamāmase: uparamāma nassāma satataṃ samitaṃ maccu-santikaṃ gacchāmā ti na jānanti, ” i.e. let us go continually into the presence of death. A little further at DhA. I, 66 the explanation of it is “bhaṇḍ’‹-› ādīnaṃ vuddhiyā vāyamāmā ti na vijānanti. ” The meaning is “to control oneself, ” cp. saṃyamāmase S. I, 209. Leop. v.

I, 217 is wrongly separated from the preceding vā, which ought to be read as vāyameyyātha (so K. S. I. 281). (Page 551)
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.
