Sujātā8

Person

毗舍佉的幼妹,嫁與給孤獨長者之子,因對待僕人傲慢固執,佛陀特為她講說七種妻子的譬喻,她因而改過。

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.
