Anulā3
PersonUne reine du Sri Lanka qui régna quatre mois après avoir empoisonné son mari le roi Coranāga, puis assassina successivement plusieurs autres maris avant d’être elle-même tuée par Kuṭakaṇṇatissa.
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).
