Pali-English dictionary
: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English Dictionary1) Vissa, 2 (nt.) (cp. Sk. visra) a smell like raw flesh, as 掳驳补苍诲丑补 at Dhs. 625; DhsA. 319; SnA 286; DhA. III, 393. (Page 641)
2) Vissa, 1 (adj.) (Vedic vi艣va, to vi掳) all, every, entire; only in Np. Vissakamma. The word is antiquated in P膩li (for it sabba); a few cases in poetry are doubtful. Thus at Dh. 266 (dhamma), where DhA. III, 393 explains as 鈥渧isama, vissagandha鈥�; and at It. 32 (vissantara峁� 鈥渁mong all beings鈥�? v. l. vessantara峁�). (Page 641)
Pali is the language of the Tipi峁璦ka, which is the sacred canon of Therav膩da Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha鈥檚 speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.

Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
