A female lay disciple (upāsikā), probably of Nāḷaka. She was a patron of Sāriputta, and, on his death, she brought three vases filled with golden flowers to be offered at the pyre. Sakka came, with his great retinue, to do honour to the elder, and in the crush caused by his arrival Revatī was trampled to death. She was immediately reborn with a body three quarters of a league in height in Tāvatiṃsa, and, on discovering the cause of her happiness, she appeared with her followers before the people and declared her homage to Sāriputta. SA.iii.177 f.
