Sumanā13
Person托鉢中の比丘に花を供養したことで、隣接する宮殿を伴い三十三天に転生したパンナカタナガラの四人の女性の一人で、彼女はスマナ花を供養したことからこの名を得た。
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.
