Indian Fairy Tales, V. the Broken Pot., sentence 21

Rhys-Davids informs me that these names are more akin to Pali than to Sanskrit, which makes it still more probable that the whole literature is ultimately to be derived from a Buddhist source.

Who acts: Rhys, names, Sanskrit · What happens: inform, be, make · To what, where: me, Pali, version, whole literature, Buddhist source
