Sujātā8

Person

ヴィサーカーの末妹で、アナータピンディカの息子に嫁ぎ、召使いに対する高慢で頑固な扱いのために仏陀が彼女に七種の妻について説き、その後彼女は行いを改めた。

Youngest sister of Visākhā. She was the daughter of Dhanañjaya-seṭṭhi and was given in marriage to Anāthapiṇḍika’s son. She was very haughty and obstinate. One day, when the Buddha visited Anāthapiṇḍika’s house, she was scolding the servants. The Buddha stopped what he was saying, and, asking what the noise was, sent for her and described to her the seven kinds of wives that were in the world. She listened to the discourse and altered her ways (A.iv.91 f; J.ii.347 f).

The Sujāta Jātaka (No.269) was taught to her.
