Kajaṅgalā
Person카장갈라의 비구니로, 마을 사람들이 부처님이 주신 간략한 가르침을 자세히 설명해 달라고 청하자 훌륭하게 설명하여 이를 전해 들은 부처님으로부터 큰 칭찬을 받았다.
A nun who lived in Kajaṅgala. Once when the Buddha was residing in the Veḷuvana there, the inhabitants of the village went to her and asked her to explain in detail what the Buddha had taught them in brief. This she did, and when the matter was reported to the Buddha, he praised her very highly (A.v.54 ff). The exposition given by her is quoted in the Khuddakapāṭha Commentary (pp.80, 83, 85). Her story is given in detail in the Avadānasaṭaka (ii.41 ff).
