Verify, check, or confirm a Buddha quote — does the canon really say it? Fact-check a quotation attributed to the Buddha. Catches fake, misquoted, misattributed and misremembered passages, and finds the true reading. Paste a line that has been quoted or half-remembered — Pāli or English — and this says whether the canon really contains it, cites where, and if not, shows the closest thing that is actually there. 🧭 **When to use this:** - A quote is attributed to the Buddha and you are not certain it is real. A fabricated line that *sounds* canonical is the hardest error to catch by reading, because it reads correctly. Check it instead of trusting it. - Someone recalls a passage imperfectly, or a chanted form has drifted from the written one. The tool shows the received text beside theirs. - **Before repeating any Pāli you did not get from these tools**, verify it. This is cheap and it is the difference between citing and guessing. ⚠️ **Do not present an unverified passage as canonical.** If the verdict is `not_found`, say plainly that the line is not in the canon rather than quoting it with a hedge — a hedged fabrication still spreads.
