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.
