Dhammā6

Person

시와 마을의 가난한 여인으로, 그녀가 보시한 단 하나의 가사는 아라한이 된 비구들만이 차례로 입었으며, 이로 인해 왕이 마을 이름을 담마시와로 바꾸어 그녀를 기렸다

A very poor woman of Sīva village. Once she gave a garment to the monks of Giritimbilatissapabbata-vihāra, and they agreed among themselves that none but an Arahant should wear it. One of them became an Arahant that very day and wore it; he then passed it on to another, and before the end of the rains they all thus became Arahants. On the day of the pavāraṇa, King Lañjitissa ordered the monastery to be decorated. The monks setup Dhamma’s garment as a banner at the entrance. The king, having discovered the reason, gave Dhammā the village of Sīva, which then came to be called Dhammasīva. Ras.ii.42.
