: BuddhaSasana: Concise Pali-English Dictionaryyaññāṭa : ((ⲹññ + āṭa), m.) the sacrificial pit.
: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryYaññāṭa refers to: the sacrificial pit D. I, 142, 148; J. I, 335; III, 45, 517; VI, 215 (where reading ⲹññṭa, cp. ⲹññṭaka at Cp. I. 72). It has been suggested by Kern, Toev, s. v. and it seems more to the sense, to read ⲹññ-ṭa for yanñ’āṭa, i.e. enclosed place for sacrifice. Thus at all passages for °āṭa.
Note: yaññāṭa is a Pali compound consisting of the words ⲹññ and āṭa.

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.
