Kāḷī8
PersonUne servante du trésorier de Kosambī qui introduisit d’abord Ghosaka dans sa maison, puis tenta sept fois de le faire tuer sur ordre de son maître, avant d’avouer et d’être pardonnée.
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).
