Anulā3

Person

Một nữ hoàng Sri Lanka trị vì bốn tháng sau khi đầu độc chồng mình là vua Coranāga, rồi lần lượt giết hại nhiều đời chồng tiếp theo, trước khi chính bà bị Kuṭakaṇṇatissa giết chết.

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).
