Ekapiṇḍadāyikā

Person

九十一劫前バンドゥマー王の妃であったとき、幸せな来世を得るために比丘尼に食事を施し、その後神々と人間のあいだで幾度も王妃として生まれ変わったアラハント。

An Arahant. Ninety-one world-cycles ago she was the wife of King Bandhumā, of Bandhumatī. Wishing to do some good deed to ensure for herself a happy rebirth, she asked the king for his sanction, and fed a nun and gave her various gifts. Later she was born thirty times in Tāvatiṃsa as queen of the gods. She was the wife of twenty kings among men (Ap.ii.515 f).

She is probably identical with Mettā Therī (ThigA.36 f).
