Person

Une arahantī qui, il y a quatre-vingt-quatorze cycles cosmiques, offrit en tant que kinnarī sur les rives de la Candabhāgā une guirlande de fleurs à un Buddha, devenant plus tard maintes fois reine parmi les dieux et les hommes

An Arahant. Ninety-four world-cycles ago she was a kinnara on the banks of the Candabhāgā, and, having seen the Buddha, offered him a garland of flowers.

She was queen of the devas thirty-six times and queen among men in ten lives (Ap.ii.528 f).

She is probably identical with Cittā Therī (ThigA.33 f).
