Pali-English dictionary
Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryVirāgita, (adj.) (fr. vi+*rāgeti, denom. of rāga?) at J. V, 96 is not clear. It is said of beautiful women & explained by C. as vilagga-sarīrā, tanumajjhā, i.e. “having slender waists. ” Could it be “excited with passion” or “exciting passion”? Or could it be an old misreading for virājita2? It may also be a distorted vilāka (q. v.) or vilaggita. (Page 634)
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.
