Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryYāvetadohi, at M. II, 47 is an obscure expression. The reading is established; otherwise one might think of a corrupted yāv(a) etad ahosī(pi) or yāva-d-ev’—ahosi “was it really so?” or: “did you really have that thought?” Neumann, Mittl. Sammlung2 1921; II, 381, translates “gar so sehr drängt es dich” (are you in such a hurry?), and proposes reading (on p. 686, note) yāv’etado hi pi, leaving us wondering what etado might be.—Could it be a distorted yāyetar (n. ag. of yāyeti, Caus. yā)? (Page 556)
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.
