Sattamba
PersonAlso known as Sattambaka
Ein Schrein westlich von Vesāli, der seinen Namen angeblich sieben Prinzessinnen verdankt, Töchtern König Kikis von Bārāṇasī, die dort einst um spirituelle Errungenschaft wetteiferten; ursprünglich einer Gottheit geweiht, wurde er nach dem Besuch des Buddha in Vesāli zu seiner Residenz.
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.
