Cittā2
Personराजगृह के एक प्रमुख नागरिक की पुत्री, एक थेरी, जिन्होंने गिज्झकूट पर्वत पर ध्यान करने के पश्चात वृद्धावस्था में अर्हत पद प्राप्त किया।
A Therī. She was the daughter of a leading citizen of Rājagaha. Hearing the Buddha teach, she entered the Order under Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī. In her old age she went to Gijjhakūṭa and there, after meditation, she attained Arahantship.
Ninety-four world-cycles ago she was a kinnarā on the bank of the Candabhāgā and there offered flowers to a Pacceka Buddha (Thig.vs.27 f; ThigA.33 f). She is probably identical with Nalamālikā of the Apadāna (ii.528 f).
