Kāḷī8
PersonEine Dienerin des Schatzmeisters von Kosambī, die Ghosaka zuerst in dessen Haushalt brachte, dann im Auftrag ihres Herrn siebenmal versuchte, ihn töten zu lassen, und später gestand und Vergebung erhielt.
A maidservant of the treasurer (seṭṭhi) of Kosambī. She it was who secured Ghosaka (q.v.) for the treasurer, and when the treasurer wished to get rid of him, the task was entrusted to her. Seven times she tried to have him killed, but all her attempts failed (DhA.i.174 ff). Later Kāḷī confessed her share in the treasurer’s crime, and seems to have been forgiven by both Ghosaka and his wife (DhA.i.186 f).
