Kañcanadevī2
PersonCon gái vua Devaputta, sự ra đời rực rỡ của nàng được đánh dấu bằng châu báu rơi xuống, và trong một kiếp trước, nàng đã dùng đức hạnh kiên định để chế ngự dục vọng của một vị vua Nāga say mê nàng.
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.
