Sattamba
PersonAlso known as Sattambaka
A shrine west of Vesāli, said to derive its name from seven princesses, daughters of King Kiki of Bārāṇasī, who once contended there for spiritual attainment; originally dedicated to a deity, it became a residence for the Buddha after his visit to Vesāli.
A shrine near Vesāli. (D.ii.102; Ud.vi.1; S.v.259; A.iv.309, etc.). It was so called because, in the past, seven princesses, daughters of Kiki, king of Bārāṇasī, left Rājagaha and fought for attainment at that spot. It was originally dedicated to some deity, but after the Buddha’s visit to Vesāli, it became a place of residence for him (UdA.323, etc.) It was to the west of Vesāli. D.iii.9.
