Kañcanadevī2
Personพระธิดาของกษัตริย์แห่ง Devaputta ผู้ประสูติท่ามกลางอัญมณีที่ตกลงมาอย่างเจิดจรัส และในชาติก่อนได้ทรงปราบราคะของพญานาคผู้หลงใหลด้วยคุณธรรมอันมั่นคงของนาง
Daughter of the king of Devaputta.
On the day of her birth jewels fell from the sky and her body was so bright that no lamps were needed when she was by. She entered the Order when she grew up and became an Arahant.
In her past birth, when she was listening to a discourse at the end of celebrations held at Devaputta in honour of the Bowl Relic, a Nāga king fell in love with her. When she refused his attentions, the Nāga wrapt her body with his coils, but she continued to listen unmoved. By power of her virtue the Nāga was subdued, and he paid her great honour by means of an Udakapūjā. Ras.i.34 f.
