Rohiṇī
PersonLa fille d’un brahmane de Vesāli qui, devenue entrée-dans-le-courant en entendant l’enseignement du Bouddha, entra dans l’Ordre et atteignit l’état d’arahant, laissant des vers rappelant un débat antérieur avec son père.
She was the daughter of a prosperous brahmin of Vesāli. When the Buddha visited Vesāli, she heard him teach and became a Stream-winner (sotāpanna), taught the doctrine to her parents, and, with their permission, entered the Order, where she became an Arahant.
Ninety-one world-cycles ago she saw Vipassī Buddha begging in Bandhumatī, and, filling his bowl with meal cakes, paid him homage (ThagA.214 f).
The Therīgāthā(vss.271-90) contains a set of verses spoken by her in exaltation, when, after becoming an Arahant, she recalled to mind the discussion she had had with her father while she was yet a Stream-winner.
It is said (ThigA.219 f) that the last stanza of the series was spoken by her father, who later himself joined the Order and became an Arahant.
