Wife of Brahmadatta. One day when opening her window she saw a royal groom, with whom she fell in love, and when the king fell asleep, she climbed down through the window, lay with the groom, and climbed back again, after which she perfumed herself and lay down beside the king. The king eventually discovered her misdemeanour and proclaimed it to his ministers, depriving her of her royal rank.
The story is one of those related by Kuṇāla, who is identified with Brahmadatta (J.v.444). It is perhaps this story which is referred to as the Cūḷakuṇāla Jātaka.
