Anulā3
PersonEine Königin Sri Lankas, die vier Monate regierte, nachdem sie ihren Gatten König Coranāga vergiftet hatte, dann nacheinander weitere Ehemänner ermordete, bevor sie selbst von Kuṭakaṇṇatissa getötet wurde.
Wife of Coranāga and Queen of Sri Lanka for four months (in A.D. 12-16). She was a lewd woman and killed her husband that she might marry Mahācūḷa’s son, Tissa. She soon got tired of him and poisoned him. Then, in succession, she had as husbands Siva, a palace guard; Vaṭuka, a Tamil carpenter; Tissa, a wood-carrier; the Damiḷa Niliya, a palace priest — all of whom she removed by poisoning. The last one she killed because she wished to live indiscriminately with thirty-two palace guards.
In the end she was killed by Kuṭakaṇṇatissa (Mhv.xxxiv.16-34; Dpv.xix.50 ff).
