Alomā
PersonAlso known as Ālomā
바라나시의 가난한 여인으로, 다른 공양물이 없었기에 탁발 중인 부처님께 경건한 마음으로 소금기 없는 마른 고기를 바쳤다. 그녀는 그 보시를 늘 되새긴 끝에 도리천의 궁전에 다시 태어났으며, 그곳에서 마하목갈라나가 그녀의 이야기를 들었다.
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.
