Saṅghadāsī
Person波罗奈王吉吉七位女儿中最年幼的一位,被认作是今世的毗舍佉,其前世慷慨布施众僧的功德,说明了她今生牛群何以自行增多。
The youngest of the seven daughters of Kiki, king of Bārāṇasī. She was Visākhā in the present age (J.vi.481). One day, as she was giving the five products of the cow to a company of twenty thousand monks, she persuaded them to accept her gifts even when they covered their bowls, saying: “Enough, enough.” For this reason, when, as Visākhā, she was given cattle by her father at the time of her marriage, other herds of cattle joined them, in spite of the efforts of men to prevent them (DhA.i.396 f., 418).
The Apadāna, however, gives her name as Saṅghadāyikā. Ap.ii.655 (vs. 16).
