Correct Answer: Pali


Solution : The Correct Answer is Pali

The Tripitakas, which were composed in Pali, are the primary sources of Buddhism. The Buddha chose Pali as the medium for his teachings, and it later developed into the sacred tongue of early Buddhism. The Sutta, Vinaya, and Abhidhamma Pitakas are collectively known as the Tripitaka. Buddhism's doctrine and philosophy are contained in the Abhidhamma Pitaka. More than 10,000 sutras related to Buddha and all of his close friends make up the Sutta Pitaka. Vinaya Pitaka is also referred to as a discipline book.
