Sumanā13
PersonL’une des quatre femmes de Paṇṇakatanagara qui, pour avoir offert des fleurs à un moine en tournée d’aumônes, renaquirent à Tāvatiṃsa dans des palais contigus, celle-ci nommée d’après les fleurs sumana qu’elle offrit.
One of four women of Paṇṇakatanagara in Esikārattha. They saw a monk begging for alms, and one gave him a sheaf of indīvara-flowers, another a handful of blue lilies, another of lotuses, and the fourth some jasmine blossoms. They were all reborn in Tāvatiṃsa, their mansions (vimāna) adjoining each other.
Mahā-Moggallāna saw them and learnt their story, which is recorded in the Vimānavatthu as the story of the Caturitthivimānavatthu.
The last mentioned of the women, who offered sumana-flowers, was called Sumanā. Vv.iv.7; VvA.195 f.
