Amittatāpanā

Person

ヴェッサンタラ本生譚に登場する婆羅門ジューヤカの若い妻で、召使を要求したことがジューヤカにヴェッサンタラの子らを奴隷として乞わせる原因となり、後にチンチャマーナヴィカーとして生まれ変わった。

The young wife of the brahmin Jūjaka of Kāliṅga.

She had been given away by her parents in payment of a debt. Being mocked by the friends she met at the watering-place, she insisted on being provided with servants. It was in order to meet with her wishes that Jūjuka went to Vessantara to beg for the latter’s children to be used as slaves (J.vi.521-4).

In the present Buddha-age, Amittatāpanā was Ciñcamāṇavikā. Ibid., 593.
