Bhuñjatī

Person

Die Frau Vessavaṇas und eine fromme Anhängerin des Buddha, die, als Sakka den meditierenden Buddha besuchte, mit gefalteten Händen dienend angetroffen und gebeten wurde, Sakkas Gruß zu überbringen, sobald er erwache.

Wife of Vessavaṇa and a devout follower of the Buddha. Once, when Sakka went to see the Buddha at the Salalāgāra, he found the Buddha engaged in meditation, Bhuñjatī waiting on him and worshipping him with clasped hands. Sakka asked her to greet the Buddha in his name when he should awake from his meditation (D.ii.270 f).

Buddhaghosa adds (DA.iii.705) that Bhuñjatī had reached the second Fruit of the Path and found no pleasure in the luxuries of heaven.
