Bhuñjatī

Person

ヴェッサヴァナの妻であり仏陀の敬虔な信奉者で、サッカが瞑想中の仏陀を訪ねてきたとき、合掌して仕えているところを見出され、仏陀が目覚めたらサッカの挨拶を伝えるよう頼まれた。

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.
