Muttā
Personサーヴァッティの高貴な婆羅門の家系に生まれ、マハーパジャーパティー・ゴータミーのもとで出家した比丘尼で、仏陀が輝く光の顕現によって彼女を諭した後に阿羅漢果を得た。
She belonged to an eminent brahmin family of Sāvatthi and, in her twentieth year, renounced the world under Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī.
One day, as she meditated after her return from the almsround, the Buddha appeared before her in a ray of glory and exhorted her in a verse. Not long after she became an Arahant.
In the past, she had seen Vipassī Buddha walking along the street and, gladdened by the sight, had rushed out and thrown herself at his feet (Thig.vs.2; ThigA.8 f).
She is evidently identical with Saṅkamanattā of the Apadāna. Ap.ii.514.
Thig 1.11
