Phusatī
Person맛다국 왕의 딸로, 후에 시비국 산자야 왕의 정비가 되었으며 웨산타라 왕자로 태어난 미래불의 어머니가 되었다.
Daughter of the Madda king and chief queen of the Sivi king Sañjaya and mother of Vessantara.
She had been Sudhammā, daughter of Kikī, and was born in Tāvatiṃsa because of an offering of sandalwood made by her to Vipassī Buddha. When she left Tāvatiṃsa, Sakka gave her ten boons:
to be chief queen,
to have dark eyes,
dark eyebrows,
to be named Phusatī,
to have a son,
to keep a slim figure,
to have firm breasts,
hair always dark,
to have soft skin, and
to save the condemned.
She was called Phusatī because on the day of her birth her body smelt of sandalwood. She was a previous birth of Mahāmāyā. J.iv.480 ff., 593; Cyp.i.9.
