Rūpanandā
Other자나파다칼야니 루파난다라고도 불리는, 부처님의 여동생(또는 이복 여동생)으로, 그녀의 예비 남편은 아마도 부처님의 이복 동생 난다였을 것이나, 그는 결혼식이 열리기 전에 출가했다
Called Janapadakalyāṇī Rūpanandā (DhA.iii.113 ff).
She is evidently identical with Janapadakalyāṇī-Nandā (At AA.i.198 she is actually identified with her, but see Sundarī-Nandā), and is described as a sister (? step-sister) of the Buddha. The person referred to as her husband (bhattā) is probably Nanda (q.v.), the Buddha’s step-brother; strictly speaking, he joined the Order without having married her, though the wedding had been announced and all preparations were being made.
