Alomā
PersonAlso known as Ālomā
Eine arme Frau aus Bārāṇasī, die, da sie nichts anderes darzubringen hatte, dem Buddha auf seinem Almosengang mit frommem Herzen etwas getrocknetes, salzloses Fleisch gab und die, nachdem sie sich ständig an ihre Gabe erinnerte, in einem Palast in Tāvatiṃsa wiedergeboren wurde, wo Mahā-Moggallāna ihre Geschichte hörte.
v.l. Ālomā.– A poor woman of Bārāṇasī. She saw the Buddha going on his begging round, and having nothing else to offer, gave him, with very pious heart, some dried flesh, old and saltless.
She thought constantly of her gift, and after death was born in a mansion (vimāna) in Tāvatiṃsa, where Mahā-Moggallāna came across her and heard her story from her. Vv.39; VvA.184.
