Nāgā7

Person

Rājāyatana 사당 근처에서 굶주린 비구 예순 명에게 음식을 공양하여 왕으로부터 섬 전체를 하사받은 재가 여신도로, 그 섬은 훗날 그녀의 이름을 따 Nāgadīpa라 불리게 되었다.

A woman who lived near the Rājāyatana-cetiya. Once, seeing sixty monks return from the village with empty bowls, she, although already pledged to work by day, borrowed some money on promise to work at night as well, and gave them food. The monks retired to Mucalindavana and developed Arahantship before eating. The deity of the king’s parasol shouted applause, and the king, having heard the story, gave Nāgā the whole island, which thus came to be called Nāgadīpa. Ras.ii.16 f.
