Kañcanadevī2
Person提婆弗多国王之女,诞生时天降珠宝、身放光明;据传她前生在一次法会上因坚守德行不为所动,降服了一位对她心生爱慕的龙王。
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.
