Mittā (v.l. Mettā)

Person

一位比丘尼,历经多世为天神与人王之妃,因于过去毗婆尸佛时所种福德,此生生于迦毗罗卫释迦族家庭,随摩诃波阇波提·乔答弥出家,不久证得阿罗汉果。

Ninety-one world-cycles ago, in the time of Vipassī Buddha, she was one of the consorts of King Bandhumā and won meritorious kamma by bestowing food and costly raiment on an Arahant Therī. After death she was born in Tāvatiṃsa and was wife of the king of the gods thirty times, and then chief queen of twenty kings of men. In this age she belonged to a Sakyan family of Kapilavatthu and left the world with Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī, winning Arahantship soon after. (Thig.vs.31 f )

She is evidently identical with Ekapiṇḍadāyikā of the Apadāna. ThigA.36 f; Ap.ii.515 f.
