Cittā2
Person一位長老尼,王舍城顯貴之女,晚年在靈鷲山禪修後證得阿羅漢果。
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).
Thig 2.5
