Ekūposathikā

Person

一位阿羅漢,前生身為擔水的婢女,因見槃頭摩王持齋而自行受持戒律,此後多次轉生為天上人間的王后,最後一生七歲出家,八個月內即證阿羅漢果。

An Arahant. In the past she was a slave-girl, a water-carrier in the city of Bandhumatī. Seeing the King Bandhumā keeping the fast, she took the precepts herself and kept them well. Sixty-four times she became the queen of rulers in heaven, and was sixty-three times queen among men. Her complexion was always of a golden hue. In her last life she left the world at the age of seven, and attained Arahantship within eight months (Ap.ii.522 f).

She is probably identical with Uttamā Therī. See ThigA.46 ff.
