Samantapasadika
Samantapāsādikā refers to a collection of Pali commentaries on Theravada Tipitaka Vinaya.[1] It was a translation of Sinhala commentaries into Pali by Buddhaghosa in the 5th century. Many of the verses used in Samantapāsādikā are from older Dípavamsa.[2] Samantapasadika is made of two words, samanta and pasadika. Here 'samanta' indicates four directions and 'pasadika' means cool-down.
